Quae postquam infesto percensuit omnia vultu arridens Poenus, lenta proclamat ab ira: non leviora dabis nostris inscribere tectis acta meae dextrae: captam, Carthago, Saguntum da spectare, simul flamma ferroque ruentem; perfodiant patres natorum membra; nec Alpes exiguus domitas capiet locus; ardua celsis persultet iuga victor equis Garamasque Nomasque.
All these pictures Hannibal surveyed with a face of anger and contempt, and then cried out with rising passion: Deeds as great as these, the work of my right arm, shall Carthage yet display upon her walls. Let us see there the capture of Saguntum, overthrown by fire and sword together; let fathers be shown stabbing their own children; the conquest of the Alps will claim no little space; let Garamantes and Numidians, riding on their horses, trample on the high peaks.
