Ex hostium armis scuta et pila pro vallo, pro caespite cadavera collocabantur, insuper abscisa in gladiorum mucrone capita hominum ordinata ad oppidum conversa universa, ut et ad hostium timorem virtutisque insignia proposita viderent et vallo circumcluderentur adversarii.
Shields and javelins taken from among the enemys weapons were placed to serve as a palisade, dead bodies as a rampart; on top, impaled on sword points, severed human heads were ranged in a row all facing the town, the object being not merely to enclose the enemy by a palisade, but to afford him an awe-inspiring spectacle by displaying before him this evidence of valour.
