aere atque aequorei tergo flavente iuvenci cassis erat munita viro; cui vertice surgens triplex crista iubas effundit crine Suvo; Scylla super, fracti contorquens pondera remi, instabat saevosque canum pandebat hiatus, nobile Gargeni spolium, quod rege superbus Boiorum caeso capiti illacerabile victor aptarat pugnasque decus portabat in omnes.
His tough helmet was made of bronze and the tawny hide of a sea-calf; and above it rose a triple crest, with hair of the Suevia hanging down like a mane; and on the top stood a Scylla, brandishing a heavy broken oar and opening wide the savage jaws of her dogs. When Flaminius conquered and slew Gargenus, king of the Boii, he had fitted to his own head this famous trophy that no hand could mutilate, and proudly he bore it in all his battles.
