finem profecto fruendarum opum, quibus ad invidiam diu abundaveras, Tarentina civitas, quaesisti: nam dum horridae virtutis in se ipsum connixum stabilimentum nitore fortunae praesentis inflata fastidiose aestimas, in praevalidum imperii nostri mucronem caeca et amens irruisti.
City of Tarentum, you surely sought to end your enjoyment of the prosperity in which you had long abounded to the general envy. Puffed up by the glitter of present fortune, you looked superciliously upon the stabilizing force of rugged, self-concentrated worth and rushed in your blind folly upon the irrefragable blade of our empire.
