Eadem Pietas viribus suis inflammatum Africanum superiorem, vixdum annos pubertatis ingressum, ad opem patri in acie ferendam virili robore armavit: consulem enim eum, apud Ticinum flumen adversis auspiciis cum Hannibale pugnantem, graviter saucium intercessu suo servavit,
The same Piety fired the elder Africanus with her strength and armed him, scarcely more than a boy, to come to his fathers aid in battle with a mans vigour. By his intervention he saved his fathers life when he, the Consul, was gravely wounded fighting Hannibal under adverse auspices at the river Ticinus.
