M. men was many times prouoked of the Numantines to fight But Scipio was better and wyser than other generals for he thoughte not good to deale with those wylde men by the force of armes but to conquere them by famine whiche is a thing inâ—uitable by the whiche euill the Numantines coulde bée only taken â–ª as they were These things I had to say of the Numantines when I consider their small number their sufferaunce of labour and noble actes and how long they were inuincible Therefore of the Numantines they that so determined dyuâ—rslye killed themselues The reste the thirde daye came to the place appointed al vgly filthie and horrible to beholde which had bodies foule and full of heare wyth long nayles full of filth and stincke worne garments of euill sauoures by whiche thinges they were miserable to their ennimies and yet feareful to looke vpon therefore they were beholden of the Romaines wyth admiration considering in them the straunge affection of theyr bodies that was felt in the ayre of the dolour and labour whiche they had suffred â–ª and also of their conscience that one had eaten anothers fleshe Scipio choosing oute some of them for the pompe of hys tryumphe commaunded the other to be solde and their Cittie vtterly to be destroyed This Generall of the Romanes these two Cities being taken harde to be wonne Carthage for the greatnesse of the Cittie and the power thereof by the decrée of the Romaines he preserued for the commodity of the lande sea Numantia hée rased a little Citie that helde but a fewe of the whiche the Romanes had not determined eyther bycause he was irefull and harde of nature againste them that he tooke by violence or bicause as some say he thought his glorie to be the greater by the greatest calamities of other Therefore to this day he is called Affricane and Numantine of the destruction he gaue to those Citties Then the places nighe Numantia being assigned and setled and if any were suspected put in feare by payment of money he returned to Rome The Romanes as the maner was sent tenne men of the Senatonres into the places of Spaine that were of their gouernment that those that Scipio or Brutus had taken might be brought into the forme of a prouince After a certain space when newe stirre was made in Spaine Calph. Piso was seÌ„t thyther with aucthoritie to whom Ser. Galba succéeded But a multitude of Cimbrians comming into Italy Sicilie afflicted with y second seruile war they sent no army into Spaine bicause of these wars but would haue lieutenaÌ„ts go to pacifie al as wel as they could When the Cimbrians wer repulsed Tit.

second next Alexander he sayde Pirrhus of Epirota putting the vertue of a Captayne in boldenesse for there can not be found a more couragious Kyng than hée Scipio now was gréeued and againe asked him whome he thoughte to bée the thirde thinking verily he woulde haue named him he aunswered my selfe for béeing a yong man I subdued Spayne and with mine armie passed the Alpes into Italy the firste after Hercules that so haue done I inuaded it when none of you durst doe any thyng I ouerthrewe foure hundred Townes and broughte youre Citie many times into daunger hauing neyther money nor men sent me out of Carthage When Scipio perceyued he dyd so of purpose aduance himselfe he smyled and sayde in what place wouldest thou haue put thy selfe O. Anniball if thou hadst not bin ouercome of me He perceyuing this emulation sayde I woulde haue set my selfe before Alexander So dyd Anniball continue in his lofty talke and yet secretely please Scipio as making hym better than Alexander Thys talke being ended Anniball desired Scipio to hys lodging Scipio sayde he woulde come very gladly but that it should cause suspition betwéene Antiachus and the Romanes Thus these noble Captaynes ended theyr malice when the warre was ended but so dyd not Flaminius For when Antiochus was ouercome and Anniball fledde and sauing himselfe in Bithinia he being sente Embassadour for other purpose to Prusia not being iniured by Anniball nor commaunded of the Romanes nor to be feared bycause the power of Carthage was abated kylled him with poyson by Prusias consente of the whyche it is sayde hée was warned before by an Oracle after thys sort The lande of Libyssa shall couer Annibals body He thoughte he shoulde haue dyed in Libya but Libyssus is a floud in Bithinia and the Countrey is called Libyssa of the floud This remembrance haue I made of the noble myndes of Anniball and Scipio and of the cowardly heart of Flaminius Antiochus comming from Pisidia towarde Ephesus gaue audience to the Embassadoures of the Rhodians and promised that the Rhodians the Byzantines and Cyzioneans and other Gréeke Cities in Asia shoulde be frée if he entred league with the Romanes the Aetâ—leans and the Ionians he would not grant so to be bycause for the most part they had bin vsed to obey the barbarous kings of Asia The Romane Embassadoures bringing nothing to passe for they came not to doe any thyng in déede but to espie they returned to Rome The Embassadors of the Aetolians came to Antiochus of the whiche Thoas was chiefe offering him the leading of theyr armie and wishing he woulde sayle into Grecia as to a sure thing not tarrying for hys armie to come out of high Asia but settyng forthe theyr owne strength promised him the ayde of the Lacedemonians and of Philip Kyng of Macedonie angry at the Romanes so hée woulde make hys voyage wyth spéede Hée was moued very lightely and woulde not stay his hast although he hearde out of Asia that hys sonne was dead and with tenne thousande only sayled into Eubâ—ia all the whyche he gotte they yéelding for feare Micithion his Captayne setting vpon the Romanes at Delos whyche is an holy place of Apollo kylled part of them and part toke alyue Aminander Kyng of the Athamanes came into league with Antiochus by this occasion One Alexander of Maecedonia béeing brought vp in Megalopoli and made frée of that common wealth fayned himselfe to come of Alexander sonne to Philip and to gyue credite to hys deuice he named hys children Philip and Alexander and Apamea whome he married to Amynander Philip hir brother going with hir to the marriage and perceyuing that Amynander was a weake man and of little experience remayned wyth hys brother in lawe to gouerne the Kyngdome This Philip Antiochus promised to restore the kingdome of Macedony as his owne and by this meane had the Athamaneans his confederates He had also the Thebanes and wente to Thebes to speake to the people Thus he very rashly in so great a war put his trust in the Aetolians Thebanes and AmynaÌ„der Then he consulted whether it were better to inuade Thessaly out of hand or to tarrie till Winter were past Anniball being at this consultation and saying nothing the king coÌ„maunded him to say his opinion first and thus he spake Thou mayest easilie ouercome the Thessalians eyther now or after winter for the people hauing bin much vexed do turne to thée now and so will doe to the Romanes if any innouation commeth We be come with our owne power giuing credite to the Aetolians persuasion that the Lacedemonians and Philip will take our part of the which the Lacedemonians be our Enimies as I heare and so be the Acheans As for Philip I can not sée that he can be any great ayde vnto thée in this warre being on thy side nor make any great power whatsoeuer part he taketh but this is mine aduise that thou sendest for thine army with all speede into Asia and not put thy trust in AmynaÌ„der or the Aetolians when the army is come to send it into Italy that béeing occupyed with troubles at home they may leaue them vntouched and being afraide of themselues may not vexe other men And now that manner is not to be held of vs that I spake of afore for we must vse the one halfe of oure naâ—ie to wast the coast of Italy the other halfe we must haue a flote to vse as occasion shall require and thy selfe with all thy footemen must remaine in that part of Grecia that is next Italy making a shewe of inuasion and if néede be to inuade indéede and to induce Philip by all meanes possible to agrée with thée for it shall much auayle which part he taketh in this warre If he will not bée broughte in thou shalt sende thy sonne Seleucus into Thracia and molest him with euils at home that he be not profitable to thine enimies abroade Thus Anniball said and it was the best of all but for enuie of his fame and wisedome as well other as the king himselfe that Anniball shoulde not séeme to passe them all in the arte of warre nor he haue the prayse of that shoulde be done All hys counsell was reiected sauing that Polyxenides was sent into Asia for the army When the Romanes hearde of the entring of Antiochus into Grecia and of the killing and taking of the Romanes at Delus they determined warre Thus Antiochus and the Romanes warre growing long before of suspition one of another did now firste breake out in déede And bycause Antiochus had the rule of many nations in high Asia and of all that inhabite the sea coast sauing a fewe and for that he was entred Europa and hadde a dreadfull name and a greate preparation and otherwise hadde done many notable things by the which he had gotten y name of Greate the Romanes thoughte this warre would be daungerous and of long continuance They
a yong man of the Citie of Asculi was deliuered to an other citie as pledge he did vtter it to Seruilius the President of that prouince for at that time it should séeme that the Romaines had presidents in diuers partes of Italy whiche manner Hadriane when he was Emperoure desired to renue but it coÌ„tinued not loÌ„g after his time Seruilius came in great anger to Asculi at a feast and sharply rebuked them wherevpon they killed him bycause they were discouered by hym They killed also Fonteius that was his legate They had the name of Legates among the Romaines that were sent in commission to the Presidents of the Countrey After these two were slayne there was as little courtesie shewed to the rest of the Romaines for they were al killed and their goodes set to spoyle The conspiracie being now opened all the neighboures about Asculi wente to armes The Marsians the Malinians the Vestinians the Marucians and beside them the Picentines the Ferentines the Husians the Pompeyans the Venusians the lapigianes and the Samnites whiche people before had euer bin enimies and hurtfull to the Ramaines All other nations from the floud Lario which floweth as I take it at Linterno to the Gulfe of Ionia did send theyr Embassadors to the Romaines complayning that where the Senate had vsed their seruice and trauell alwayes in getting theyr great Empire they made no regard of it nor for all their paines thought them worthy to be partaker of their Citie To whome the Senate sharply answered that if they repented theyr former doings they shoulde send Embassadors if not they shoulde sende none They as men desperate prepared for the warre and made a common army of all the Cities one of footemen and an other of Horsemen to the number of one hundred thousande The Romaines made power as greate againste them partly of their owne and partlye of the Confederate Cities that yet remayned in league Sextus Iulius Caesar and Publius Rutilius Lupus then Consulles were leaders both as in a warre at hande and daungerous The rest remayned at home to defende the gates and the walles and bycause mens mindes were enâ—angâ—ed thys waye and that waye by reason of the newe lawe they appoynted assistantes to the Consulles whome they called Legates menne of the best â—orte To Rutilius was ioyned Cneus Pompeyus father to Pompey that was surnamed Greateâ— Quintus Capiâ— Caâ—â—s Perpenna and Valerius Messala To Sextus Caesar P.

C. tallents putte in pawne for the nomination to an office The yearely Consuls were reiect from armies and prouinces being taken away by y power of these thrée men They that were of worst behauiour sought their gaine by armies and publike matters of the Citie by the electioÌ„s of their priuate successors by reason wherof the honest sort did vtterly leaue to rule insomuche as in this disorder the Citie was .viij. moneths without a Magistrate Pompey of purpose did winke at all this geare that the necessitie of tyme might make hym a ruler alone and now it was spoken in euery place that the only remedy to these mischiefs was the auctority of one whom it behoued to choose being mighty of power and gentle of nature signifying that Pompey had a sufficient army counted a louer of the people for his honor did leade y Senat in lyfe sober and sincere and in conuersation affable either in déede or apparaunce He in worde séemed to bée angrye at this expectation but in effect he wrought it secreatelye all that euer he coulde and willingly looked awry at the disorder of the common wealth and the lacke of officers in the same confusion And whereas â— Milo did serue his tourne against Clodie and was well beloued of the people for the returne of Cicero looked for the Consulship at due time required for that office he did kéepe hym backe by delaying the election Wherefore Milo taking it vnkindly that hee shoulde finde Pompey vnfaithfull wente into the Countrey to Lauâ—â—to which Citie they saye Aencas commyng from â—â—oy did first builde in Italy being from Rome aboute eightéene myles Clodie came ryding from hys house and met hym at 〈…〉 and passed the one by the other onely
Citie and of Antony the Consull leaste he would vse the people only leauing the Senate and worke them some displeasure being thus bestad they wente to the Capitoll with the swordeplayers where consulting what was best to be done it seemed good to giue a largesse to the people hoping that if some beganne to prayse their act the other wold folow for loue of liberty and the desire of common wealth for they thoughte y people of Rome to be as sincere now as they had heard it was when olde Brutus expelled the Kings not vnderstanding that they loked for two things contrarye in themselues that they that loue libertie and would be corrupted should be profitable to them at this present wherof the one was more easie to be had as in a state for the most part corrupted for now the people was mirt with strangers a libertyne was equal with a Citizen the fashion of a seruant like to the maisters for y Senate ercept the rest was indiffereÌ„t to the seruantes Further y distribution of corne which was vsed only in Rome to be giuen to y poore had brought that idle néedie vacabonds of Italy to Rome Again a nuÌ„ber of olde worne souldiers out of wages were not deuided into their couÌ„tries as they wer wont seuerally bicause some had serued in vniust wars but would go into coÌ„mon habitations take other mens land houses remayning togither in teÌ„ples coÌ„mon places vnder one baÌ„ner one chiefe that might apoint theÌ„ a prouince selling away their own to be the more redy to go they were sone bought for reward Therfore it was not hard for Cassius to gather a nuÌ„ber of such men bring them into the coÌ„mon place albeit they were hired yet durst they not prayse that was done for feare of Caesars glory others deuotion but for the coÌ„mon welth sake they cried for peace earnestly exhorted the rulers vnto it for thys was the deuise of the kyllers to worke theyr owne safetye And there coulde bée no peace vnlesse there were a forgetting standyng in these termes Cynna a Pretor and a kinsemanne by maryage to Caesar beyonde all opinion came among them hauing on hys vesture of office which he threw of as giuen him of a Tiran and called Caesar the Tiranne and them that kylled hym killers of a Tiranne and praysed the facte as moste like to their progenitours and that those men were to be called from the Capitoll and to be honoured with dew rewardes This Cinna sayde but they séeing the vncorrupted people was not myxte wyth them did not call them from the Capitol nor did anye thing else but onely exhorted to peace Then Dolabella a yong man and a noble appointed to be Consull after Caesar had ben gone for the reste of the yeare hauing on the garment of a Consul and the Maces of his office was the second that spake euill and pretended he was priuie to the deuise and only sorte that his hand was not at the doing of it and as some saye hee decréed that that daye shoulde be honoured as the byrth day of the Citie Then the hyred men toke harte when they saw both a Pretor and a Consul to forgiue them they called Cassius and the rest out of the Temple who were glad of Dolabella a yong noble man a Consul being most méete to match with Antony only there came downe Cassius and Marcus Brutus with his bloudy hand for they had striueÌ„ who should giue Caesâ—r moste woundes and when they were amiddest the people they spake nothing humbly but as in noble and euident things one praysed another calling the Citie now blessed attributing muche to Decimus that in so fitte a time bad serued them with swordplayers Then they stirred the people that they woulde do things worthy their auncestours whiche had expelled kings not reigning by violence as Caesar did but being chosen lawfully they also propouÌ„ded that Sextus Pompey sonne to Pompey the greate that hadde made warre agaynste Caesar for the common wealth myght be called home beyng yet in armes in Spayne againste Caesars Captaines and lykewyse Câ—setius and Marulâ—â—s that were depriued and banished by Caesar being Tribunes of the people When they hadde thus sayde they wente vppe againe to the Capitoll for they dyd not truste verye muche in that multitude Then their friendes and kinsfolke might repaire vnto them into the Temple of whom they chose the most auntient to send to Lepidus and Antony for reconciliation and regarde of libertie and to saue the Countrey from the euils that might growe vnlesse they be foreseene This much did the messengers require not praysing the thing that was done for they durst not to Caesars friends but desired to haue it borne with for the worthynesse of the doers not for hate to him but for the loue of their countrey and pitie of the Citie nowe consumed with continuall sedition of whiche one more would vtterly destroy all good men of the same and that it was not right that for any hate amongst a few they shoulde worke the publike destruction but rather that for publike commodities priuate enmities mighte be wiped away Antonius and Lepidus as I sayde minded to reuenge Caesars deathe eyther for friendships sake or for a practise betwéene them or for desire of rule and thynkyng all things would be the easier to them if such notable men might be ridde out of the way yet they feared their friendes and theyr kinsfolkes and the Senate that enclined to them and most of all Decimus whome Caesar hadde appoynted to gouerne France theyr neyghboure whereby he hadde a mighty armye Therfore they thought it best to tarry for a better occasion and deuise to gette Decimus army that was so valiant and expert with laboures neuer left Hauing this fetch Antony thus aunswered the messengers For priuate displeasure we will worke nothing but for offence and matter wherein we are all sworne to Caesar to bée kéepers of his body and defend it against violence it is requisite by our oth to follow the fact that is done and the rather to lyue with a few pure than all to be in daunger of those execrations yet for their honor that be of that opinion we will debate with you in the Senate house and take the way for the Citie that by common consent shall séeme good Thus Antony aunswered safelye They gaue thankes and departed with sure hope that al should haue gone well and that the Senate woulde haue fauoured their cause throughly â–ª Antony in the meane time caused the officers to make watche for the Citie all nighte and by turne to kéepe their seates as was wante in the daye and to haue fires ouer all the Citie by meane whereof the friends of the offendoures went to euery Senatoures house and requested them for themselues and for the Countreys common wealth There ranne abroade also the Captaynes of suche
friendes came vnto him and againe prayed him not to dissente from the Senate bycause it was decréed that there shoulde be no question of Caesars deathe Further they feared Antony and his power who neyther came himselfe to méete Caesars sonne nor sent any man to receyue hym all the whiche Octauius tooke very temperately and said it was méete that he should goe first to Antony as a yong man to an elder and a priuate man to a Consul and that he would obserue y Senate as should be conuenient And though quoth he there be a decrée that no man should persecute the killers and yet if anye maÌ„ durst take it in hand bath the people and the Senate by law and the goods by iustice yea and peraduenture Antony also wyll be helps to it if he did refuse the inheritaÌ„ce adoptioÌ„ he should offend againste Caesar defraude the people of their distribution In the end he knit vp his spéech that it was not onely honest for him to put himselfe in daÌ„ger for this matter but also if néede be to lose his life otherwise he should séeme vnworthy the choyce y Caesar had made of him in so great matters séeing he himself was wont to contemne all maner of perill Then turning to his mother he rehearsed those words that Achilles spake to Thetis I do rather wish of my life an ende Than I should omitte reuengement of my friend This word quoth he did winne Achilles immortall fame but much more the déede and that he ought to reuenge Caesar not as a friende but as a father not as a fellowe Souldiour but as a Generall not dying by lawe of warre but murthered wickedly in the Senate house For this spéeche his mother from feare turned to you embraced him affirming he only was worthy for Caesar This talke being ended she prayed that all myghte haue lucky and prosperous successe with spéede yet she perswaded him at the firste rather to vse policie and sufferance than playnenesse and boldnesse when he commending hir aunswered he would so do In the nighte he sent to his friendes and prayed them the nexte morning to be with him in the coÌ„mon place wyth the other multitude In that place méeting with Caius Antonius brother to Marcus Antonius a Pretor of the Citie he sayde vnto him that he did accept the adoption of Caesar for it was the manner of Rome that the adopted children should exhibite testimonie to the Pretors which beyng registred he straighte wente out of the common place to Antony the other Conâ—ull who was then in Pompeys gardings whiche Caesar had giuen him and when hée had tarryed at the gate a long whyle he entred into a suspition of Antonies alteration Being at length lette in due salutations and intretaynmeÌ„ts were betwéene them and bycause they must talke of things that were expedient Octauius Caesar sayd thus I Father Antony for the benefites that Caesar shewed to thée and the thankes thou gauest to him requiring thée to be a father to râ—e do prayse thée for the things thou hast done for him and I will be thy debtor of thankes for them but wherein I maye blame thée I will speake it frankely for dolor doth thereto driue me When he was slayne thou wast not present the quellers holding thée withoute the dores for eyther shouldest thou haue saued him or haue bin in the like daunger thy selfe of the whych if the latter must haue happened It is well now that thou wast absente When some decréed them to be honored as againste a Tyrant â–ª thou denyedst it effectually for the whych I know thou deseruest cléere thankes but if thou knowest that those men did conspire thy death not as one that woulde reuenge Caesar as we thinke then were they not Tyrantkillers and for that they fled to the Capitoll as to a Sanctuary like offendors crauing mercâ—e or into a sorte as enimies for their strength wherefore obliuion and acquitall of the murther was required for theÌ„ though some of the Senate or the people were corrupted of them and if thou hadst bin otherwise minded thy office did require thee to punish so great a fault and to correct them that did erre yet diddest thou send pledges of thine owne into the Capitoll for the assurance of the manquellers Well graunt the corrupted sort did force thée to it but when Caesars Testament was redde and thou madest his funerall Oration as righte was and the people for the fresh memorie of Caesar carryed a fire againste them and for their neyghboures sake spared them and agayne they were in armes twice the next day why didst not thou help the people as their leader with fire or armoure to punishe the murtherers if any punishment ought to be of them that are euident offendors by thée a friende to Caesar a Consull and Antony Marius Amatius by commaundement of thy great power was put to deathe but the quellers thou susferedst to slée and to runne to certayne prouinces which wrongfully they holde hauing killed him that gaue them Syria and Macedonia thou and Dolabella doyng well when thinges were setled tooke from them for the whiche I would thanke thée if thou hadst not straight appoynted them to Creta and Cyrene and thought fugitiues worthy prouinces euer to be as garrisons against me Decimus hauyng France our neybour you haue suffered he also being made ruler of that and other by my father but some will say the Senate did determine it yea and thou didst confirme it and satest as chiefe in that Senate the which thou chiefly of all others for thy selfe oughtest to haue resisted To giue them obliuion of their faulâ—o was as a granting only of their liues but to assigne prouinces and honor was a contumelie of Caesar and an ouerthrow of the iudgement Therefore as passion dothe carrie me peraduenture beyonde the due respect of my yeares and reuerence to thée I will speake it both as to a sure friende of Caesar and of him though worthye much honor and power and also as to one that mighte haue bin his heire if he had knowen that thou hadst come of Aeneas rather than Hercules for that did he muche consider when he tooke order for his succession But for the tyme to come O Antony for the Gods of friendship and for the dutie to Caesar if thou wilt change any of the things done as thou must if thou wilt if not at the least help to further me that minde to be reuenged of the quellers with the people and such of my fathers friends as I haue and if any respect of men or of the Senate doth moue thée be not angry with me Thou knowest what a charge I and my house haue about these matters for the performing of the distribution that my father gaue to the people and for the care thereof that by delaying of them I might not séeme vnthankefull nor they that should receyue habitations in the countrey shoulde be

enimies but agaynst Citizens This destroyed the discipline of the Romanes warre The Souldiour rather desirous to serue for pryuate affection and the Capytaynes to abuse them for priuate commoditie Not onely a Souldiour but whole armies were to bée bought for money And it was offence to fauour the good and prayse to aduaunce the euill So as for lighte causes whole armies would go from a good and lawfull leader to a lewde and vsurpyng Captayne lyke agréeyng with lyke the Souldiours tooke them for enimies were they neuer so honest that their Capitaynes hated And the Capitaynes to haue Souldiours at hande suffred them to committe things abhominable without al reuerence of lawe and iustice So nowe all discipline beyng corrupted they were compted best that could rayse moste sedition The Citie in the meane time was in great penurie their prouision of corne beyng stopped by Pompey In Italie tillage beyng almost leâ—te for the continuaunce of warre and that that there was being

contended with Caesar â–ª for he onely promised helpe to the olde possessioners making supplication to all the officers they promised their seruice to him Wherby bothe Antonies Soldiours and Caesar himself accused him as an enimy to him and Fuluia also as stirrers of warre out of time But a deuise of Manius preuayled which persuaded Fuluia that if Italie were in quiet Antony woulde remayne with Cleopatra in Aegipt but if warres were styrred hée woulde come quickly Then Fuluia of a womannishe passion incensed Lucius when Caesar wente to place the newe inhabitancies Antonies chyldren and Lucius wente with them that Caesar shoulde not haue the whole thankes by goyng alone Caesars horsemenne scoured the coaste towarde Sicelie that Pompey shoulde not spoyle it Lucius eyther afrayde in

might take full possession that the horsemen were yet in the coast did their duties WheÌ„ Antonies Soldiours vnderstoode this they made a méeting with him at Theano and were reconciled to him with these conditions That he shuld deuide no laÌ„ds but to such as serued at Philippi That the money of the condemned men their landes should be equally diuided among Antonies Souldiours That hereafter one alone should not leuy men That two legioÌ„s of Antonies should serue Caesar against PoÌ„pey That the Alpes towarde Spaine shoulde be open to them that Caesar sent and not be shutte by Asinius That Lucius should put away his garde and exercise his office with quietnesse These were the couenants whereof onely the two last were kepte And Saluidienus passed the Alpes spyte of them that kepte them the rest were defeated Wherfore Lucius went to Preneste affirmyng he was afrayde of Caesar hauyng a garde aboute him and he none Fuluia also went to Lepidus saying she was afrayde of hir children for she trusted him better than Caesar And they bothe wrote to Antonie certaine fréendes carying their letters that might certifie him of all thyngs the copies whereof I haue long sought and can not finde Then the chiefe of the armies agréed to take vp thys matter and affirmed they woulde compell hym that were vnwillyng They sente for Lucius friendes to come to them whiche they denying to doe Caesar accused them as well to the chiefe of the armies as to the officers of the Cities Then great resorte was made to Lucius out of the Citie beséechyng him to haue compassion of afflicted Italie and take some man that eyther with him or with the Capitaynes might make an ende of the matter And where as Lucius had regarde both of them that spake and also of the thyngs spoken Manius answeared sharpely That Antonie onely gathered money of strange nations but Caesar did gette mens loue by preuention of the armies and fitte places of Italy For by fraude he had gotten Fraunce which was Antonies prouince and for xviij cities that should be giuen to the Soldiours he ransacked almoste all Italy And also gaue money to foure and thirty legions not onely to eight and twentie that fought in hys quarrell and that he had spoyled Temples in pretence of warre agaynst Pompey whiche was not yet begon for all the greate dearth in the Citie but in déede to winne the fauour of the Souldiours agaynst Antonie in so muche as the goodes of the attaynted are not solde before they be giuen to theÌ„ but if he séeketh peace in good fayth he must make accomptof things he hath done and hereafter do nothing but by consent of bothe This was the bolde answeare of Manius that neyther Caesar shoulde doe any thing alone nor the couenaunts betwéene him and Antonie remayne firme that is that either of them should haue full authoritie in their prouinces and each confirme others actes Caesar séeyng that they soughte warre prepared hymselfe for it but the two legioÌ„s that wer placed about of Ancona and first serued his father and after Antony for the loue they bare to them both sente Ambassadors
to Rome to pray them to haue respect to peace And when Caesar aunswered that he swerued not with Antony but Lucius wyth hym the Embassadors conferring with the officers of Antonyes Souldyoures sente a common Embassage to Lucius requiring hym to be contente to committe hys difference wyth Caesar to arbitrement affirmyng they woulde take vppon them excepte he woulde condiscende Hauing obteyned their request Gabij was appoynted the place of méeting in the midde way betwéene Rome and Preneste There was prepared a seate for the Judges and two chayres to shewe the cause Caesar came firste and sente Horsemen that way that Lucius shoulde come eyther to sée what Lucius dyd or whether there were any traynes layde They lyghted vpon Antonyes Horsemen whyche came as forerunners of Lucius or to sée if all were cléere they fell to fight and some were kylled Wherefore Lucius wente backe for feare of treason as he sayde and béeing called of the chiefe of the army promising hym to conducte him safe he refused Thus the pacifyers béeyng deceyued warre was threatned wyth bitter wordes betwéene them Lucius hadde sixe legions of the leuie whiche he toke when he was created Consull besyde eleuen of Antonyes vnder Captayne Caleno and all those in Italy Caesar hadde foure Legions at Capua and certayne bandes for his person Saluidienus broughte other syxe Legions out of Spayne Lucius had money of the prouinces that Antony had pacyfyed Caesar hadde of all them that came vnto hym by lotte excepte Sardinia whyche was then in warre He gote much of Temples promising to render it with interest that is of Capitoliâ— Antio Lanuuio Nemore Tibure in the whyche Cities be treasures at this day of holy money Out of Italy all things were not quiet for Pompey by resorte of condemned Citizens and auntient possessioners was greatly increased both in mighte and estimation for they that feared their life or were spoyled of their goodes or lyked not the present state fledde all to hym And this disagréemente of Lucius augmented hys credite beside a repayre of yong men desirous of gayne and seruice not caring vnder whome they went bycause they were all Romanes sought vnto him And among other hys cause seemed most iust He was waxed riche by booties of the Sea and he hadde good store of Shyppes with their furniture Murcus also brought him two legions and fiue hundred archers much money and fourescore Shippes and he had another army from Cephalenia Wherefore meÌ„ thynke that if he had then inuaded Italy he might easily haue gotte it which being afflicted with famine and discord loked for him But Pompey of ignorance had rather desend his owne than inuade others till so he was ouercome also In Affrica Sextius the Lieutenant to Antony béeyng lately commaunded to deliuer his charge to Fagion Caesars Lieutenant and sent againe to take it from Fagio who would not deliuer it but made warre hauing a bande of discharged Souldyoures and a number of Africanes and the helpe of the Princes there And when Fagio was ouercome in both wings of his battell and also lost his Campe thinking it had come by treason killed himselfe and so Sextius onto agayne was Lord of both prouinces of Affrica Bocchus King of the Mauritians at the persuasion of Lucius made warre vpon Carinas Gouernour of Spayne for Caesar And Aenobarbus with lxx Shippes and two legions and a band of archers and venturers scouring the sea of Ionia destroyed the regions that accepted the rule of the thrée men And being come to Brunduse â—e partly tooke the Gallyes of Caesar and partly burned them and driuing the Brundusians within their wall spoiled the lands Caesar sent a legion thither and willed Saluidienus to come out of Spayne And throughout Italy men were mustered in hast as well of Caesa a Captaynes as of Antonyes for Lucius Dyuers fightes there was betwéene them both in iust battell and in ambushmentes The fauoure of Italy was more enclined to Lucius bycause he fought for them against the new inhabitants Not onely the Cities that were giuen in pray but also all Italy was stirred fearing the lyke calamitie and reiecting Caesars souldioures that borowed holy money and partly kylling them they gaue aide to Lucius kéeping their Cities for him Contrarywise the new inhabitants stucke to Caesar as though eyther laboured for their owne In this state Caesar called the Senatoures and the Gentlemen and thus spake vnto them I know I am contemned of Lucius faction as a coward and afrayde of myne owne weakenesse and that contempt is increased by your assembly I haue a valiant army both that which he iniureth by hyndering their possession and also that which aforetime haue serued vnder my banner the rest be as sure except one meaning I delighte not in ciuill warres that be not necessary nor do thinke to abuse the Citizens that be left to destroy one another chiefly in thys ciuill motion the miserie whereof shall not be tolde from Macedonia or Thracia but shall be séene in Italy The which if it be the fielde of this warre what incommodities shall it suffer This is the cause why it yrketh me to beginne first And now I protest that I neyther quarrell with Antony nor do anye thing why he should quarrell with me It is your part that for your selues you do reprooue Lucius with his abettors whome I praye you to reconcile vnto me but if they continue in their obstinacie I shall make it knowen that I am not slowe for feare but for consideration You shall be witnesses not onely to me but also to Antony that I am driuen to this necessitie by the insolencie of Lucius When Caesar had thus said they returned in hast to Preneste Lucius answered only this that the matter would come to tryall on both sides shortly and that Caesar dissembled who had sente a legion to Brunduse to stoppe Antonyes passage from Italy Manius also shewed Antonyes Epistle false or true I can not tell whych willed his estimatioÌ„ to be mainteyned though it were by warre And when the Embassadors of the Senate did demaunde if any maÌ„ did blemish his estimation if they did they should coÌ„plaine to y Judges Manius vsed many threatnings againe till they weÌ„t away without conclusioÌ„ Yet y Embassadors dyd not shew y answere to Caesar either bycause he knew it particularly or bycause they wer abashed or for some other cause Then present war appered Caesar made prouisioÌ„ left Lepidus Gouernor of that citie with a garrison of two legions Many of the noble men of Rome resorted to Lucius declaryng that the authoritie of thrée men did displease them And thus thys warre followed after thys sort Two legions of Lucius at Alba made a tumulte and droue away their Captaynes and were readye to reuolte Caesar and Lucius both made hast to them Lucius came fyrste and wyth many fayre wordes and promises stayde them Furnius

They aunswered giue vs which thou listest he giuing war they cried al with one voice and we receiue it by by they sent to Hannibal to ouerrun al Iberia for the league was broken Wherfore he raunging euerye where got some by flattery some by threats and some by force He gathered many souldioures not shewyng to what purpose he didde it Hys meaning was to goe into Italy to sende Ambassadors to the Galles to search the way of the Alps to carry his army to Rome leaue Asdrubal in Spaine The Romaynes thinking they must make war with the Carthagies in Spaine and Affrica not once suspecting their comming into Italy sente Tiberius so 〈…〉 into Affrica with one hundred thrèescore and twoo ships and two 〈◊〉 What 〈◊〉 Longue and other Generalles didde in Labya all is shewen in the booke of the Libyan warres They sente into 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Scipio with thréescore Shyppes and ten thousande sâ—â—temen and seauen hundred horsemen to whome they ioyned for 〈◊〉 his brother Câ— Cornelius Scipio But one of them that is 〈◊〉 when he heard of the Marchants of 〈◊〉 that Anniball was comming into Italy and had passed the Alpes being aâ—raâ—â—â— he shoulde haue taken the Italians vnpâ—câ—â—ted he deliuered the army to hys brother and in a Galley sayled into 〈◊〉 What he or other Captaynes did that succeeded hym in thys war tyll Anniball was driuen out of Italy after sixteene yeares it is shewed of vs in the booke that followeth wherein also wee shewe all Annibals actes and therefore name the booke by Annibals name Cneus in this warre of the Romanes didde nothing worthy of wrytyng till his brother retourned vnto hym For when hys tyme was expired the Romanes sent the Consulls for hys successors to make the warre againste Anniball and hée was vnderconsull to them and sent againe into Spaine And so the twoo Scipioâ— didde make warre agaynste Asdruball in Spaine The Carthagies being prouoked to fight of Syphax kyng of Numidia they called home Asdrubal with part of his armye wherby the Scipios did easily gette the reste of Spaine and mayne Citties yéelded fréely For they were apte to gouerne armyes and also by persuasion to winne Cities to their obedience The Carthagies compounding with Syphax sente Asdruball into Spaine wyth more menne and wyth thyrtye Elephantes adioyning other two Captaines to them that is Mago and Asdrubal Gysgons sonnes After that tyme the Scipios had sharpe warre and yet were superiors of the whiche manye souldiours of the Carthagies and Elephants were consumed till the winter beyng come the Carthagies went to winter at the Turditanes And Pub. Scipio stayed at Caâ—â—ulone and Cncus at Orsonae To whom when it was shewed that Asdrubal was comming he went out of the Citie wyth a fewe to sée his enimies power but going too far vnaduisedlye he was circumuented of the contrary horsemen and killed and al that were with him Cneus Scipio not knowing the chaunce of hys brother sent hys souldiors to fetche artillerie wyth whom the Affricanes made a fraye Whiche Cneus vnderstanding came foorth in haste with the light harnessed to helpe hys men wherof the former being killed and putte backe Scipio was driuen into a Tower the whiche they sette a fyre and burned hym and hys companye Thus the two Scipios were killed men certainly of great worthinesse greatly loued and lamented of the Spaniards that had committed themselues for their sakes to the Romaine obedience When this was knowen at Rome the Romanes tooke it very grieuously and sent Marcellus which a little before was come out of Sicilie and with him Claudius wyth a nauy and ten thousande footemen two thousand horsemen and mony and victuall sufficient to make warre in Spaine Of the whiche no notable thing being done the Carthagies encreased very much for nowe they had wellnigh gotten all Spaine the Romaynes béeing dryuen into a little streight so as they were caste to the Pyrene hils The whiche when they at Rome hearde they were more grieued and afraide least whiles Anniball wasted those Regions whiche were at the sides of Italie the other army shoulde inuade another way therfore thoughe they woulde neuer so muche they coulde not leaue Spaine fearing the warre of Spaine woulde stretch to Italy Therefore they appointed a day to determine a Generall for the war in Spaine To the whiche prouince when none nowe offered hymselfe they were in more trouble and feare than before for all the Senators were still for feare till Cornelius Scipio sonne to Publius that was slaine in Spaine a yong man of xxiiij yeres of age but wise accompted noble in mind did step forth boldly spake lamentably the harde happe of hys father vncle affirming that he alone was left to reuenge both their deaths and other things he added with great eloquence and vehemenete so as it were by a diuine inflamation he promised to restore not onely Spaine but also to take Carthage wherefore he was thoughte to boaste too muche lyke a young man but he got the fauoure of the people whiche was stroken with greate feare For they that â—eare when better hope is promised them they

Fuluius Nobâ—â—â—or was sent against them with an army of thirty thousande The Segetanes hearing that he was comming their walls not being yet finished desired the Araschians to receiue them and so they fled to them They made their chiefe Captaine Carus whom the Segetanes thoughte to be a man expert in war. He thrée daies after he was created Generall laide an ambushe of twentye thousande footemen and fyue thousande horse in a shadowy and woddy place and from theÌ„ce gaue a charge vpon the Romanes The fight was doubtfull a greate while at length Carus hadde a noble victorie for he â—â—ewe sixe thousande Romaines whiche was a great losse to the Citie â–ª But when they vsed the victory rashlye and too proudlye the Romaines horsemen that garded the carriage set vppon them and â—â—ew Carus fighting valiantly for himselfe and sixe thousand with hym tyll the fyghte was ended by the darkenesse of the night This was done the same daye that the Romaynes kepte the feaste of Vulcane After that daye none of them woulde come to fight but by compulsion The Araschians assembled that night at Numantiâ— â–ª which is a very strong citie They chose Arathon and Leucon Captaines of the warre Fuluius came thither the thirde daye and camped foure and twenty furlongs from the citie to whom Massinissa had sent thrée hundred horsmen and thirtye Elephants which being come he went straight to the fight He placed the Elephants at the backe of the army and when the fight was begonne opened a way for the Elephants â–ª whom when the Celtiberians sawe they and their horse were afraid and fled to the walles The Romayne had the Elephants shoulde be brought to the wal There was a fierce fight till one of the Elephants being hurte in the heade with a stone from the wall beganne to rage and be vnruly and with furie turne vpon his fellows thrusting and treading downe euery one he met no difference betwéene friend and foe and the rest of the Elephants being made afrayde did the lyke and trode and thruste downe the Romaine souldiours The whiche thing the Elephants when they are in feare are wâ—nte to doe taking euerye man for their ennimye wherefore for this falshoode they are called common enimies Therfore the Romanes without order fled away which when the Numantines saw from the walles they came forth and chased them and flewe foure thousande of them and tooke thrée Elephants and muche armour and many ensignes Of the Celtiberians two thousand were killed When Fuluius hadde gotten from that slaughter he besieged Axenium which was as a coÌ„mon market for the enimyes for there was all thinges to sell â–ª Where when he did no good but lose his men he retired by night to his campe Wherefore hée sente Blesus the Capitayne of the horsmen to a nation that was nigh and his friend for he wanted horsemen with a bande of horse In the way they fell into an ambushe of Celtiberians â–ª whiche beyng knowne the friendes fledde and Blesus fought and was killed and many Romanes with him For the whiche losses and ouerthrowes Ocile a Cittie in the whiche the Romanes had their treasure and munition yéelded to the Celtiberians Then Fuluius distrusting himselfe and afraid of al things kepte within his campe that winter defending it as well as hée coulde and getting victuall â–ª yet was greatly troubled for lacke and for bitternesse of colde wherfore many Souldyours partly goyng for wood partly for the sharpnesse and great colde did perishe The yeare following Claudius Marcellus came in Fuluius place bringing eighte thousande footemen and .v.

tayle of the armye and tooke some of the cariage Notwithstanding they came after and brought a hundred horsemen and saide their hurte in the carriage was done by the errour of some that knewe not the couenauntes Marcellus made the hundred horsmen prisoners and solde their horses then he ranged their lande and gaue the pray to the souldioures and encamped at their Cittie where when they sawe their engines broughte and their trenches made they sente oute an Heraulte wearing a Woolfs skinne to aske pardon whiche he denyed to giue except the Aruacceans Bellans and Titthians woulde sewe for them the whiche those nations did willinglye praying that a reasonable payne beyng putte vppon them they mighte be broughte to the league of Gracchus Some of them denied that bicause they hadde bin at strife Marcellus sent the Ambassadoures of both parts to Rome there to dispute their controuersies and secretly wrote to the Senate to compounde the matter for he desired the war might be ended in his time thinking it would be for his glory The Ambassadoures of the friendes were receyued into the Cittie they of the enimies were lodged without the Cittie as the manner is The Senate would haue no peace being grieued they were not brought into the Romanes power as Nobilior would haue done that was Generall in Spaine before Therefore the Senate aunswered the Ambassadors that Marcellus should declare their plesure there forthwith sent an other army into Spaine And then was the first time that souldiors wer takeÌ„ by lot not by choice as had béene before For manye did reproue the Consulls as not vsyng themselues truely and sincerely in the choise of soldiors that they might seÌ„d to lighter enterprises as cause reqâ—â—â—â—d Therfore it séemed good then to take their soldiors by lotte of whome L. Lucullus was made Generall to whom Cornelius Scipio was lieutnant that shortely after gotte Carthage and Numantia Whiles Lucullus was comming Marcellus proclaimed warre againste the Celtiberians to whome he rendred their pledges they requiring them yet he deteyned hym long with him that wente Embassadoure for them to Rome for what cause it is vncertaine There was a suspition then which was beléeued much more by a thing that happened that is that he persuaded these people to committe their matters to him for he didde what he could to make an end of the warre before Lucullus came For after those controuersies there were fyue thousande Aruacceans that tooke Nergobrigem and Marcellus wente to Numantia and encamped within fyue myle of the Citie and droue the enimies into it Wherfore Linteuon Captain of the Numantines cried and said he woulde deale with Marcellus And being come in to talke hée saide he would leaue the Bellans Titthians and Aruacceans whom when Marcellus had accepted willingly he commaunded money and pledges to be deliuered which when he had receyued he let those people go frée This end had the warre of the Bellans Titthians and Aruaceans before the comming of Lucullus But Lucullus partly for desire of glorie and partly for néede for he was poore ledde his armie agaynst the Vacceans whiche be a people in Celtiberia next to the Aruacceans notwithstaÌ„ding the Senate determined nothing of them nor they had euer bin enimies of the people of Rome Therefore when he had passed the floude Tagus he came to the citie of Caucâ—a and there encamped They of the towne asked why he came for what purpose he molested them that were in quiet rest Who when he had answered that hee came to helpe the Carpetanes whom they had iniured they returned into the city And when the Romanes wente for forrage they kylled many which being vnderstoode the army was brought forth and they mette and fought The Caucaeans a while had the better til their shotte fayled them then they fledde not being good at a firme battell and so thrusting together at the gate there were thrée thousand slayne The next day the olde men came forth and besought Lucullus to tell them what they might doe to kéepe the Romanes fauour He required pledges an C. talentes of silner and y their horsemen shoulde serue with him which when it was graunted he saide he woulde put a garrison in the Citie and they did not denye that He put two thousand choyce souldyoures into the citie whome he commaunded to take the walles whiche béeyng done he brought in all his army and killed all without respect of age and thus by extreame crueltie they were all slaine calling vpon the Gods and the faith of the oth by the whiche the Romanes had sworne and charging the Romanes with infidelitie by the which they had murthered twenty thousande a fewe except that were in the strong and rocky places Lucullus spoyled the Citie and gaue the prey to the Souldioures purchasing an immortall infamie to the name of Rome All they of the Countrey assembled and came out of the playnes into the hils and into the strong townes carrying so muche with them as they could burning the rest that Lucullus shoulde haue no profite of them When Lucullus had made a long iourney by the hard and deserte way he came to a Citie that is called Enderacia into the whiche more than twenty thousand footemen were fledde and two thousand horsemen Lucullus suche was his foolishnesse inuited them to composition to whome they obiected the calamitie of the Vacceans asking if he woulde exhorte them to suche amitie Lucullus being angry for their obiection as the manner is of them that do naught whereas they should rather be angry with themselues wasted their land â–ª and beséeged their Citie made many trenches â–ª and continually prouoked them to fight One of them very faire in armour came many times forth on horsehacke and prouoked any Romane to fighte hand to hand and when no man answered him he laughed and scorned the Romanes and wente leaping and reioyeing home Doyng this very oft it gréeued Scipio that was a yong man who came forthe and toke the matter in hande and by the benefite of fortune ouercame the greate straunger he being but of small stature which gaue courage to the Romane But in the night they were diuersly affrighted for all the horsemen of the Barbarians whiche were gone a foraging before the Romanes came and coulde not get into the Citie ranne vpon the Camp with great alarms and they of the Citie did the like with greate vehemence sore troubling the Romanes who being afflicted wyth watche for all that night they were compelled to watche in armoure and not accustomed to the meates of that countrey and hauing neyther wyne salte nor oyle nor vinegre and did eate sodden wheate and barlie and muche fleashe of Dere and Hare without salte they fell into flixes of the whiche many dyed Thus they continued tyll they hadde brought their trenches to due height whiche being done they beat downe one part of

M. in the Cittie of Belgeda when the people was turned to rebel c. ¶ with whom was authoritie to assemble the Senate when he was doubtful what to determine he burned the whole Senate Flaccus when he came punished al the Authoures of that wickednesse I haue founde these thinges of the Romanes agaynste the Spaniardes worthy of writing After a while when the ciuill warre was hotte betwéene Cinna and Sylla the country being diuided in that sedition Q. Sertorius of the faction of Cinna being created a Generall in Spayne allured the Spaniardes to rebell against the Romanes Then getting a gret army and a number of his friends chosen after the forme of the Romayne Senate hée determined to come towarde Rome Sertorius was a bolde man and of a noble harte and known vertue and strength insomuch as the Senate being afraid of him created many worthy Captains Caecilius Metellus first with a great army that any way he coulde he should kéepe war from Italy which was vexed wyth great dissentions A certayne man called Perpenna of Sertoriuâ— faction killed him and made hymselfe Generall and Pompey killed him in battell And so had that warre an ende the which put the Romanes in a great fear But these things be shewed more plainly in the booke of Syllas ciuill wars After the death of Sylla when C. Caesar was chosen Generall to make warre againste all men he appeased all the tumultes in Spaine and any other nation that molested the Romanes and compelled all to obey the people of Rome Also Octauius Caesar Augustus sonne to C. Caesar made some warre with them that practised rebellion From that tyme the Romanes diuided Iberia whiche is nowe Spaine into thrée parts into two of the which the Senate sent yearely officers and the Emperor sent a president into the thirde the time of whose prouince dependeth of the pleasure of the Emperour The ende of the Romanes vvarres vvith the Spaniardes ¶ The Romane warres with Antiochus the Great King of Syria by Appian of Alexandria ANtiochus descended of Seleuchus and Antiochus Kyng of Syria Babylonia and other nations the sixte from that Seleuchus who reigned in Asia to the floude Euphrates after Alexander inuading Media and Parthia and other cegions y had reuolted being a prince of greate courage and named Antiochus the Greate aduauncing himselfe by his actes and this name did violently take from Ptolomeus Philopatâ—r King of Aegipt and yet a child Coelesyria and Cilicia and nowe conceyuing no small matters inuaded them of Hellespont the Aeoleans and Ionians as subiect to the ruler of Asia bicause they of olde time did obey the Kings of Asia Then he sailed into Europa and subdued Thracia and al that would not yéeld he compelled He fortified Cherronesus and builded Lysimachia which Lysimachus king of Thracia after Alexander erected to be a bridle to the Thracians and they after his death pulled it down and this Antiochus sette it vp againe to be inhabited and called home the banished men of the Cittie and redéeming anye that were in thraldome to whome he ioyned others and gaue them oxen and shéepe and yron for their tillage leauyng nothing that mighte helpe to the spéedy renuyng of it For he thoughte it a very fytte place for to deale with all Thracia and a store-house moste commodious for all the reste that hée entended to do Manye obeyed him and receyued his garrisons for feare of his power But the Smyrneanes and Lampsaceans and some others refusing so to do sent to Flaminius the Romane Generall whâ— lately had ouerthrowne Philippe of Macedonie in a great battâ—â—â—â— Thessalia For the time was that the matters of Macedonie and Grecia haue béene intermedled as the state and time serued as we haue shewed in the historie of Grecia Betwéene Antiochus and Flaminius were diuerse Ambassages and practises in vaine And the Romanes Antiochus y one had y other in great suspition They bicause they thought Antiochus woulde not be quiet being proude of his great kingdome and happy successe Hée bycause the Romanes only might be moste greate impediment to his encrease and resist his passage into Europe But no euident cause of enmitie being giuen by him there came Ambassadours to Rome from Ptolomeus Philopatâ—r praying he might be restored into Syria and Cilicia which Antiochus had taken from hym The Romanes gladly tooke this pretence comming in good season sente Ambassadoures to Antiochus in shewe to reconcile Ptolomeus and Antiochus but indéed to espy the meaning of Antiochus and to hinder it as muche as might be Câ—eus the Ambassadour required of Antiochus that Ptolomeus a friend to the Romanes might enioy the Kingdome that his father lefte him and that the Citties of Asia which Philip of Macedonie hadde taken might be frée For it was not iuste that Antiochus would enioy y places that the Romanes had takeÌ„ from Philip. Finally he said it was to bée doubted why Antiochus should bring such a nauye and an armye from Media out of Asia into the sea inuade Europe builde Citties in it and subdue Thracia but for to lay a plat to another warre He answered that Thracia belonged to his ancestors and was for lacke of quietnesse reuolted and nowe he hauing leysure recouered it again he restored Lysimachia to be a dwelling for his son Seleuchus That he would leaue the cities of Asia frée if they would thanke him not y Romanes As for Ptolomie quoth he I am his kinsman and shortly I shal be his father in law I wil cause him to giue you thankes But I doe doubt also by what right the Romanes can meddle with Asia since I doe not deale with Italy Thus breaking vppe without anye conclusion they vttered manifest threatnings one againste another It was reported
thought that Ptolomeus was dead wherfore Antiochus went with spéed toward Egipt to get the kingdom voide of a prince And being at Ephesus Annibal of Carthage came to him fléeing his country for the hate of his enimies accusing him to the Romanes as contentious and séeking warre and coulde not liue in rest For then the Carthaginenses did agrée with the Romaynes as confederates Antiochus receyued Annibal gloriouslye for the fame of his valiantnesse and hadde him aboute him and vnderstanding at Lycia that Ptolomie was aliue he refrayued from Egipt and thought to take Cyprus in steade of it sayled thither with great spéede But being Winter at the floude Sarus he had a wrecke and loste many shippes with diuerse of his men and friends and sayled to Seleucia in Syria and there repaired his shaken nauie made a mariage of his children Antiochus and Laodice ioyning them in matrâ—â—onye And nowe bycause he knewe that euident warre woulde folowe betwéene the Romanes and him he allied himselfe wyth the Kyngs his neighboures and sent Cleopatra called Syra to Ptolomei giuyng him Coelosyria for hir dowry whiche hée had taken from hym so to please the young man that hée mighte be quiete in the war with the Romanes Antiochida hée sent to Ariarathes king of Cappadocia and an other that was lefte to Eumenes king of Pergamo but he perceyuing he meante to make warre vpon the Romanes and for that purpose would make affinitie with him did refuse him And when his brethren Attalus and Philetayrus dyd maruel at him that he reiected the alliaunce of so greate a king hys neyghbour and séeking it he aunswered that it was lyke that war would be which in the beginning woulde be equall on both sides but in time the Romanes woulde ouercome for their good conditions taking of paines Then quoth he the Romanes being Conquâ—rors I shal hold my kingdom surely But if Antiochus ouercommeth I feare al wil be taken away of my neighboure and I feare if I haue my kyngdome I muste be a Kyng vnder him For these considerations did he refuse this mariage Antiochus straight went from thence to Hellespont sayled to Cherronesus where he subdued and ouerthrewe manye places of Thracia he made frée the Grecians y inhabite Thracia and granted many things to the Byzantines hauing a Cittie verye commodious at the mouth of that sea The Galathians he pleased with gifts and drew by feare also to the societie of his determination thinking them good confederates for the bignesse of their bodies Then he wente to Ephesus and sent Ambassadoures to Rome Lysias Egeseanactes and Menippus in déede to féele the minds of the Senate but in word Menippus saide the King was desirous of the Romanes amitie and that he woulde be their confederate if they woulde accept him Yet he did maruell that they would require him to leaue Cities in Ionia and lose his tributes and not to deale with certain of Asia and to forgo Thracia that had euer bin hys progenitors whiche were things not for friendes but for conquerours to commaunde to the conquered The Senate perceyuing their comming to be but an espiall shortelye aunswered If Antiochus do suffer the Gréeke Citties in Asia to be frée and refraine from Europe he shall be a friende to the Romanes if he will. Thus the Romanes answered and made none other shewe of cause Antiochus minding firste to inuade Grecia and there to begin the warre againste the Romanes asked Annibals opinion in the matter He saide that Grecia was easy to be ouercome bycause of their long affliction The war that is made at home is moste grieuous for dearth that followeth of it but abroade it is more tollerable neither should he ouercome the Romanes in Grecia séeing they myght haue sufficient prouision and helpe from home Therefore his opinion was he should inuade the Romanes in Italy whether if he went he shoulde fynd the Romanes weaker both at home and abroade I haue saide he experience of Italy and with .x. M. men I can take fitte places of it and I will write to my friends at Carthage to stir the people to reuolte being sory for me angry with the Romanes being full of hope hart wyll thinke I will once againe get Italy The king hearing this aduice very well and thinking the accesse of Carthage to make muche for the furtheraunce of thys warre badde hym sendâ—letters to hys friendes eute of hande but hée sente not for he thoughte it not sure the Romaynes lying in wayte euery where and the war not being yet proclaymed and many being in discord at Carthage and the common wealth hauing no firmenesse nor certentie which shortly after was the destruction of Carthage Yet he sent Ariston a merchant of Tyrus vnder pretence of marchandise to his friendes exhorting them that when they vnderstoode that he inuaded Italy they should stirre the people of Carthage to be reuenged Ariston did so but when Annibals enimies perceyued Aristons purpose they made much adoe that any innouation shoulde followe and diligently sought for Ariston He that the friendes of Anniball should not beare all the blame secretely in the night sette vp a writing at the common house in the whiche Anniball exhorted all the Senate to reuenge their Countrey vnder Antiochus and when he had so done he sayled away When daye was come all the suspition was taken from Annibals friends bycause the matter belonged to all the state The people was ful of vprore angry with the Romanes but not able to hurte them And thus went the matters at Carthage The Romanes sente other Embassadors and with them Scipio that ouercame the Carthagies to proue the kings minde and to espie his preparation And when they founde the king to be gone to Pisidia they tarried his returne at Ephesus and in the meane time had many times talke with Anniball that séeing Carthage was in league and Antiochus not yet a manifest enimie they blamed him that he would flée from his countrey seing the Romanes had not offended against him nor any other of the Carthagies since the league was made This they did to make Anniball suspected to the king as they did in déede by their ofte resorting and talking with him And though Anniball were a very circumspect man yet he did not foresée this For when the king heard of it he suspected Anniball and was not so ready to trust him Beside an enuie and hatred grewe againste him least he should haue the prayse of the things that were done Among other talkes they say there was one betwéene Scipio and Anniball in a Scholehouse where many were to learne and presente to heare touching the excellencie of a Captayne And whereas Scipio asked him whome he thoughte to be the best Captayne he answered Alexander of Macedonia Scipio stayed at that and gaue place to Alexander Then he asked him whome hée thought the

he had séene manye fieldes but neuer none with suche pleasure for he alone without care sawe a hundred and tenne thousande menne fighting togyther and he sayde that only two beside him had seene the lyke warre at troy Iupiter from Ida and Neptune from Samothracia This fight continued from morning till night and after many slayne on both sides Massinissa seemed to haue the better Scipio met with him as he returned and reioyced with him he receyued him as an auntient friende and shewed him all pleasure he coulde When the Carthaginians heard that Scipio was come they prayed him that he woulde make an ende betweene Massinissa and them he brought them togither and for the agréement the Carthaginians offered Massinissa the lande they had at Empurium and to giue him two hundred talents of siluer presentlye and eight hundred in time and when he desired the outlawes to be restored they coulde not abyde to heare it And so they departed doing nothing Scipio returned to Spain with his ElephaÌ„tes Massinissa laye aboute the hyll of his enimies wayting that no victual should be brought them There was none nygh hande and to himselfe a great way off it was brought with muche ado and very little Asdrubal at the firste might haue passed thorow his enimies hys armye beyng strong and sounde but bycause he was better stored of victuall than Massinissa hée thought he would haue sued for peace and he tarried also hearing that Ambassadours came from Rome to make peace To whome it was sayde That if Massinissa were ouercome they should ende the matter but if he had the better they shoulde encourage him And so they did The famine consâ—ned Asdrubal and the Carthaginians who were so weake in bodie that they could not force the enimie First they eate their beastes then their horses of cariage then they sodde their horse gyrthes and eate them Manye diseases toke them as well for their euill sustenaunce as for their lack of labour and heate of the yeare For a multitude of men in a campe was thronged togyther in a little space and heate of Libya and when woode fayled them to séeth their meate they burned their Targets The dead men were not carried away for Massinissa would not suffer it nor they were not burned for lacke of woode The pestilence was greate amongst them and daunger for the sauours and corrupted bodyes The moste part of the army died and the reste had no hope of lise Therefore they promised to restore to Massinissa his runawayes to pay him 5000 talents of siluer in fifty yeres to receiue their bannished men contrary to their othes they to passe throughe one gate by their enimies only in their coats Celossa being yet grieued with them for the iniurie they did him whither by his fathers consent or of himselfe sent the Numidian horsemeÌ„ vpon theÌ„ as they wente away to be reuenged of them they neyther hauing armour to defend nor strength to flye so that of 58000. men fewe came safe to Carthage and with them Asdrubal the captaine and other of the noble men This was the ende of the warre betwéene Massinissa and the Carthagies Then followed the thirde and last warre of the Romaines in Libya When the Carthaginians were thus weakened by the ouerthrow of Massinissa and their Cittie in most féeble state they were afrayde of Massinissa being at hande with so great an army and of the Romaynes euer their heauy enimies and séeking occasion for y was done against Massinissa in neyther of the which they were deceyued for as soone as the Romaynes hearde of it they appointed an army ouer all Italie not shewing to what vse that they might be ready when they shoulde be called The Carthaginians thinking to put away this occasion coÌ„demned Asdrubal that was Captaine of the warre against Massinissa and Carthalone the Boetharch and all other that were occasions of it putting the blame of the warre vpoÌ„ them They sent ambassadors to Rome that accused Massinissa and also accused these men that so rashly and sodenly made the businesse and brought the Citie into daunger of enimitie One of the Senatours asked them why they did not punishe the authours of the warre at the beginning but after they were ouercome and had good will to make war again vpon vs and sought occasion of it to him they answered that the Carthaginians in déed had not yet satisfied the Romaines Therefore being troubled againe they asked if they were thought to offend what they mighte doe to make amendes They sayde thus to this word If you shal satisfie the Romaynes Some thoughte in debating what this satisfaction should be that the Romaines would adde more money to that Scipio had appointed Some thoughte to graunte Massinissa the lande that was in controuersie Then they sente ambassadours againe to Rome to knowe expreslye what would satisfie the Romaynes to whom it was aunswered that the Carthaginians knew well ynough and so sent theÌ„ away Then they were in doubt and feare of thys matter Vtica was the greatest Citie in Libya next Carthage hauing fayre portes and a countrey plentifull to sustaine an army lx furlongs from it fit to make war against theÌ„ being in doubt of Carthage vttering their old hate against theÌ„ in time sent ambassadours to Rome to yéelde Vtica to the Romaines The Senate that before was enclined and prepared to this warre by the comming of so myghtie and conuenient a Citie vnto them opened theyr mynde and being assembled in the Capitoll where they were wont to consulte of warre decréede the warre againste Carthage They sent out of hande the Consuls Marcus Manilius with the footemenne and Lucius Marcius Censorinus with the nauy to whome was giuen in secrete that they shoulde not leaue the warre till Carthage were taken When they hadde sacrifised they sayled into Sicelie to goe from thence to Vtica They had fiftie gallies a hundered foysts many Crayers Barkes and Hoyes They had an army of .xc. thousand footemen and foure thousand horsemen al of the best sort euery citizen confederate being desirous to go to so noble a voyage and many willingly put their names in the roll Warning and war it selfe was giuen the Carthagies by one messenger For he carried the decrée of warre and shewed the ships that sailed against theÌ„ They wer amazed in despaire for want of ships so great a losse of their youth neyther hauing confederates nor hired souldiers nor victuals to endure a siege nor any thing els in war soden not proclaimed nor being able to resist the Romaines and Massinissa too They sent other ambassadors to Rome with ful autoritie to satissie for the present as well as they could The Senate sayd to the â—â—â—â—f the Carthaginians within .xxx. dayes shall deliuer to the Consuis that be yet in Sicelie three hundred of your most noble children for pledges and shall do in other
from the wals lamented with them not knowing any thing as in a manifest and gret aduersitie At the entry of the gates they had almost thrust one another to death almoste torne the ambassadours in pieces but that this saued them that they must first speake with the Semors Some leâ—t them and some went on with them desirâ—us to know with the sooneâ—â— When they were entred the Senate house the Seniors commaunded the other to auâ—yde and they onely remayned the people stoode without The Ambassadourâ— showed the commaundement of the Consuls The Senate cryed â—ut the people without did the like The ambâ—ssadours shewing further what they had allâ—â—ged to the contrary and what prayers they had made to sende ambassadâ—urs to Rome the Senate was in a déepe silence again a bydiâ—g to heare the â—â—de and the people was in silence also but when they heard they might not seÌ„d to Rome they were turned into an exceeding shryking The people ranne into them Then fell they to a surye like madde men without reason as the ministers of Bacchus be wont which they saye shewe their madnes in diuerse maners Some were angry with the Senatours which wer the cauâ—â— why the pledgies were sent and spoyled and tore them as authours of the deceyt some for letting the armor go some missused the ambasadours as tellers of euil newes and dragged them aboute the Citie Some tormented the Italians that were yet there the case being sodayne and not proclaymed sundry wayes saying they were reuenged of their pledgies and armour The Cittie was full of anger feare and threates In the way they called vpon their best beloued things they fledde into the temples as to Sanctuaries they reuiled their goddes that coulde not helpe them Other went to the armaries and cryed when they found them empty Some went into the Arsenals and lamented their shippes as giuen to men without fayth and called some of the Elephants by name as they had bene presente some rebuked their auncestours and theÌ„selues that should neither haue giuen shippes rentes nor armour but had dyed wyth their armed Countrey And the mothers of the pledgies did moste moue them to rage which like vnto tragical Furiâ—s ranne to euery man with shryking and obiected the deliuerie of their children and their speaking against it and tolde them God did punishe them for their children A â—ew that were sober shut the gates and filled the walles full of stones in steade of other weapons The Senate decréed warre that day and gaue libertie to bond men They chose generals Asdrubal for the outward affaires that was condemned to death hauing then togither twentye thousand men and one wente to him in haste to desire him not to forsake his afflicted countrey in extréeme pâ—rils nor to thinke nowe on the iniurie that was done him for feare of the Romaines Within the walles another Asdruball was chosen a nephewe of Massinissa by his daughter They sente to the Consuls for thirtie dayes respight to sende to Rome Being denyed this also they fell into a maruellous change of courage whyther they shoulde suffer it or leaue their Cittie and forthwith were filled with boldenesse with a new change The common houses the publique Temples and all the holy places and euerie other worke of anye strength they wrought vppon daye and night men and women not ceassing and gathered victualles by partes as the time did serue euerye daye they made a hundred shieldes thrée hundered swordes and a thousand arrowes to shoote fiue hundred speares and pykes and as many bowes and slinges as they could The women shaued their haire to make strings for them bycause they wanted other matter and continued in thys prouision The Consuls peraduenture stayed to beginne so monstrous a matter with leysure thinking to take the citie vnarmed when they would and supposed that they wold giue ouer for want as in hard cases men be wont at the first to be earneste but wyth time reason being perswaded giue place to feare by the whiche one of the Carthagies supposing feare had possessed them durste come into the common place as though he would haue spoken of some other matter sayd that they being vnarmed ought to take the meaner euill euen so playnelye speaking his sentence Now was Massinissa angry greuously offended with the Romanes y he bringing the Carthagies force vpoÌ„ their knées now he saw other run for the title and came to the thing not makyng him priuy as they were wont to do in other wars The Consuls likewise hadde him in some suspition and sent to him for ayde he answered he would send them ayde when he shoulde vnderstande they had néede and sending not long after asked if they had anye néede They not suffering his pride and distrusting him as one offended aunswered they woulde sende to hym when they néeded For victuall for the armye they hadde only from Adrumeto Leptis Saxo Vtica and Colle All the the rest of Libya was Asdrubals from the whiche he sente victuals to Carthage Being victualled for a fewe dayes the Consulles marched to the Cittie of Carthage prepared to fight The Citie standeth in a gret déepe gulfe almost as an Iland a place called a neck did diuide it froÌ„ the laÌ„d 25. furlongs brode from the which a narrow piece of ground called a towne halfe a furlong broade goeth to the weast in the â—â—â—dest of the poole and the sea with a simple wall among the rockes towarde the south lande warde where the olde Citie Byrsa was In the neck was a triple wall Euerye one of these was thirtie Cubites high beside the batlements and towers distaunt two acres asunder stayde by foure planchers thirtie foote deepe at the plaÌ„cher was the higth of euery wall and in it being rounde and strong thrée hundred Elephants were placed belowe and the treasure of their store Vpon theÌ„ was stables for four thousand horses with granaries for wheate and barley There was receytes for men twentie thousand a foote and foure thousande on Horse so greate prouision of warre was appointed to be placed in the walles only One hooke about the narow part did bow from the wall to the portes which was only weake and lowe not regarded at the beginning They sayled out of one porte to another and from the sea there was one entrye lxx foote broade which they did shut with chaynes of yron The firste was for merchauntes in the which were manye and diuerse places of receyt Within this in the middest was an Ile and both the I le and the poole was compassed with greate holowe corners the which were full of munition for shippes able to receiue two hundered twentie ships and Cellers for

of Rome would die with him so refused to obey Atinius neither paying tribute nor giuing hostages Atinius seÌ„ding .v. bands against them they ouercame them and their leader Bebius a Senatour Atinius with the reste fledde to Epidamno Then the Senate appointed to M. Brutus and C. Cassius that killed Caesar Macedonia and Illyria with Syria So they making warre wyth Antonie Caesar that was called Augustus the Illyrians had no quietnesse The Paeones a gret nation inhabiting alongst Hister stretcheth from the Iaepodans to the Dardones They are called Paeones of the Grecians and of the Romanes Pannonians and of them as wée haue sayde they bee called parte of the Illyrianâ— of the which now I will speake somewhat béeyng about to shew the Illyrian state They glorie much in the Agrians which were Macedonians comming out of Paeonia did great seruice vnder Philip Alexander And after Cornelius was ouerthrowne of theÌ„ with al his army the fame of the Paeonians waxed very gret made Italie afraide Therfore of a long time after the Consulls woulde not take vppon them to warre with the Paeonians And these great things haue I founde of the Illyrians But in Caesars Commentaries that was called Augustus I finde no auntient matter of the Paeonians It should seeme there was an other part of Illyria that did obey the Romanes but what the name was I can not tel For Augustus didde not write other mens actes but his owne howe he brought them that reuolted from the Empyre to Tributes and ouercame other that liued vnder their own laws and lastely how he conquered the barbarous nations that dwell in the heigth of the Mountaines that were nexte Italie and vsed by stealth to molest it And surely I maruell that so manye armies passing from Rome ouer the Alpes did contemne these nations For Caius Caesar so happy a man in warre and leading so manye armies againste the Celtes and Iberians did likewise little passe of these nations when he lay euery Winter not far from them by the space of tenne yeares But I thinke these menne making haste onely to that they purchased did care for no more but for passage ouer the Alpes C. Caesar being long about Celtica thought it ynough to end that the ciuill warre of Pompey calling him from the rest And where he séemed to chose both Celtica and Illyria he tooke rule not of all but of them that belonged to the Romanes But Caesar Augustus got al when he accused the ydlenes of Antonie to the Senate he shewed how he had made the fierce nation of the Illyrians so oft rebelling tame he subdued with great experience the Oxeans Perthenetans Bathiates Taulantians Cambians Cinambrans Merromenâ—ns and Prisseans And theÌ„ that rebelled which were the Docleatans Carinians Interfrurians Narisians Clintidions the Taurisâ—ans which he compelled to pay their tributes after they had denied them the whiche being ouercome the nexte that is Ippâ—sinans and Bessians for feare did yéelde vnto him And hee ouercame the Corcyrians Melitinans with greate fight by sea bicause they were rouers on the sea The children he killed the other hée solde And tooke the shippes from the Liburnians bicause they also robbed on the sea Of the Iapodans that dwel within the Alpes the Moentines and Aedeatians yeelded to him when he came The Aurupians whiche were many and warlike of the Iapodan kind went oute of the countries into their Cittie and when he came they lurked in wooddes He tooke their Citie but would not set it afyre thinking they would yéeld to him at length Which beeing done he gaue them their citie to inhabite Of al other the Salassans and Iapodans that dwell beyonde the Alpes made him to haue moste to do with whom the Segestanes Dalmatians Daisians and Paeonans ioyned They kéepe the toppes of the hilles that bée mountaines vnpassable an harde and narrowe way leading to them by truste whereof they liue of themselues and take toll of them that passe Veterus comming sodainelye vppon them gote the straightes of the place by policie and besieged them twoo yeares They wanting salte wherof they had most néed receiued garrisons After rebelling from Veterus and casting down the desences they got the streights and laughed at them that Caesar sent bicause they could do little against them Therefore Caesar beginning warre against Antonie lette them liue as they woulde and forgaue them that molested them that obeyed the Romanes till Messala Coruinus sent of Caesar to subdue them ouercame them by famine And so the Salassians came into the Romanes power The Iapodans that inhabite beyond the Alpes a most fierce nation and almoste wilde didde reiecte the Romanes twice in .xx. yeares and raâ—nged to Aquileia and spoyled the Romanes land called Torgius When Caesar wente againste them they were the more fierce agaynste hym and cut down wood to stop him And when Caesar went to an other wood they fled and as he followed they layde traines for him Caesar suspecting it sent some of hys to the toppes of the hilles to sette vppon them on bothe sides He comming easly and cutting the wooddes they sodainely appeared from the traines and hurte many But when the other were come from the toppes they were destroyed The reste flodde into the wooddes againe leauing their Citie whose name was Terponus Caesar tooke it but did not burne it neither thinking they also woulde render as they didde Then he went to an other Cittie whiche they call Metulio which is the chiefe City of the Iapodans It is scituate vppon two hilles in a wooddy place betwéene the whiche a little valley goeth And the youth to the number of thrée thousande well practised in armes did easily repell the Romanes from the walles The Romanes set vppon a mounte the whiche they within and the other withoute runnyng daye and nighte didde muche hinder hauyng some engines whyche they hadde gotten in the warre whereby they made the Romaynes to lye further off For they hadde gotten theyr engines in that place where Brutus foughte with Caesar and Antonie But when the Romanes hadde beaten downe parte of theyr walles they made fortes within and when they were wearye they leapt into them that they had nowe made The Romanes taking the wall that they hadde lefte burned it and sette two mountes against the other from the whiche they made also foure bridges to the walles When all was readye Caesar badde some goe to the other side of the Citie to drawe the Citizens asunder and willed the other to goe vppon them on the bridges and he stoode and looked vppon an highe Tower what was done The Barbarians came to resiste them that gaue the assaulte at the wall The other laying traynes behinde beating the bridges with their long speares waxed more fierce And when two of the bridges were broken and the thirde lyke to fall the Romanes were
