Cannensis autem clades adeo urbem nostram vehementer confudit ut M. Iunio Pera dictatore rem publicam administrante spolia hostium adfixa templis, deorum numini consecrata, instrumento militiae futura convellerentur, ac praetextati pueri arma induerent, addictorum etiam et capitali crimine damnatorum sex milia conscriberentur.
The disaster at Cannae threw our city into such confusion that when Dictator M. Junius Pera was in charge of the commonwealth, enemy spoils fixed to temples and consecrated to divine power were torn down to be used as instruments of war, boys still in boys gowns put on armour, 6,000 assigned debtors and men convicted on capital charges were enlisted.
