Iacebant totis campis opes regiae, illa pecunia stipendio ingenti militum praeparata, ille cultus tot nobilium virorum, tot illustrium feminarum, aurea vasa, aurei freni, tabernacula regali magnificentia ornata, vehicula quoque a suis destituta, ingentis opulentiae plena, facies etiam praedantibus tristis, si qua res avaritiam moraretur.
Scattered over all the fields lay the kings riches, that money designed for the pay of a great force of soldiers, the adornments of so many men of high rank, of so many illustrious women, golden vases, golden bridles, tents adorned with regal splendour, chariots too, abandoned by their owners and filled with vast riches, a sad sight even for the plunderers, if anything could stand in the way of avarice.
