fortunate sea-fight in Sicilie against Hanno Publius Duillius Consul Cicero rankes this Duillius Mannius Curius and Caius Fabritius as also Attilius Calatinus Cneius and Publius both Scipioes Aphricanus Marcellus and Fabius Maximus within the list of the most renowned Consuls of Rome The yeere following Lucius Cornelius Scipio Consull took the Ilands of Corsiea and Sardinia The Carthaginian warre after it had lasted three and twenty yeeres Held 23. yeeres was at last appeased Quintus Luctatius Catulus Cercus and Aulus Manlius Consulls Two yeeres before this was Ennius borne Hee was elder then Marcus Portius Cato who cals him his familiar consort by fiue yeeres And Rome was now againe intrapt with new wars against the a Of Tuscame Faliscians b Of Tuscame vpon the Sea-coast Lygurians c Sclauonians Illyrians d Of Gallia now France Galles e Bohemians Boies f Of now Lumbardie The second warre which the Carthaginians begun Anno Mundi 3751. Insubrians whom hauing at length ouercome the second Punicke or Carthaginian warre burst forth in the twenty fourth yeere after the conclusion of peace Publius Cornelius Scipio and Titus Sempronius Longus then Consuls Hannibal was Captaine Generall in this warre who sack't the Citie of Saguntum and bending his course through Spaine towards Gallia and from thence to Italie in three seuerall battels at g Now Pauie Ticinum the Riuer Trebia and the Lake Thrasimine ouercame the Romanes But Quintus Fabius Maximus being created Dictator and marching forth against the enemie by subtle and dilatorie withdrawing from him weakened and tooke off the edge of his force and furie This was that very Fabius whose fame Ennius celebrating saith thus of him One mans delay our safety hath regained Cicero accounts him a great Politician and saies that hee could conceale keepe silence dissemble insnare and preuent his enemies in their consultations But after this the Romans receiued a very great ouerthrow at h A towne of Apulia in Italie Canna which strucke such an horrid feare in the Citie that many of the abler sort purposed to flie and forsake the Citie but were re-animated and withdrawne from their intents by Publius Cornelius Scipio Publius his sonne a magnanimous yong Gentleman and then scarce foure and twenty complete The fourth yeere following Claudius Marcellus tooke Syracusa after a long continuing siege In the sacking of which Citie the famous Mathematitian Archimides was slaine who was drawing certaine Astronomicall figures in dust not dreaming of the conquest of his country Marcellus hauing notice hereof tooke his death wonderfull heauily and commanded his body to bee buried not onely suffering the conquered Citie to remaine in safetie as Cicero writes but also left it so furnished that it should stand for a Monument of victorie humanitie and clemency Moreouer as he speakes vpon Verres the i Much like our Lord chiefe Iustices at this day Praetors arriuall there in this victory of Marcellus there were fewer men then gods slaine but Liuie reports that many abhominable examples of wrath enuy and auarice were then and there shewed Cicero when he was k Much like our office of Lord Treasurer Questor of Sicilia hauing by some description found out the place of Archimedes buriall shewed his tomb to the Senate of Syracusa 137 y. afterwards though it was quite worne out of memory grown ouer with bryars and brambles and vnknowne to the very Citizens themselues He further reports that this City of Syracusa was the greatest most beautifull city in Greece and that it was compact of foure very great Cities the Island where was the fountaine of Arethusa hauing great store of fish Acradania where the market place * Porticus The publike walking place for pleasure recreation or exercise Prado and * Curia Senatehouse stood Tyche where the Temple of Fortune stood Neapolis built last of all where the most spacious Theater was erected Moreouer this of any forraigne Nation was the first that entred into amity and allegiance with the Romans and was their first prouince as the same Cicero testifies Annibal soone after his victory compelled all Campania to bee yeelded vp to him but his Army wintering at Capua with superfluity of victualls and riot became wholy disjoynted and broken The third yeare after the ouerthow of Syracusa Capua was surrendred into the hands of the Romans and it was long and much demurred vpon whether or no they should quite destroy the City at length they agreed to preserue it yet lest it should at any time afterwards bee able to raise any rebellion their fields were quite taken away all manner of authority both of Magistrates and Senatours abrogated as also the Councell of Estate no image of a Common-wealth left but was appointed to bee a storehouse for fruit the plowmens rendezuous the Countreymens market town and the common Garner and Cornhouse for the countrey of Campania Within two yeares after this Asdrubal brought ouer new Auxiliary Forces into Italy but was slain at the riuer of Metaurum by Marcus Liuius Salinator Caius Claudius Nero Consulls In the meane while Publius Cornesius Scipio had good successe in Spaine after his father his vncle had lost their liues there He hauing recouered the whole prouince returnes to Rome and being made Consull desired to be authorized ouer Africa that he might make war there But Quintus Fabius Maximus an aged graue Senator withstood him very earnestly and vrged that it was not fit to passe into Africa but to ioyne battell with Hannibal Scipio contrariwise that if warre were made with the Carthaginians within their own Quarters they must of necessity be constrained to call home Hannibal out of Italy in whō they setled their chiefe hopes and helpes After much dispute the Senate grants Scipio the Prouince of Sicilie and permits him if it might be commodious to the Common-wealth to passe ouer into Africa He therefore at length sets forward out of Sicilie into Africa where what hee had foretold the Senate by word he confirmed by deed For the Carthiginians hauing receiued some ouerthrowes by him and being much endammaged call backe Hannibal Thus he who for sixteene yeeres together had raged vp and downe Italy and pickt out a place vnder the verie walles of Rome where to pitch his Tents was compelled to returne home though sore against his will and to his great griefe where at length in his owne country quarrell Hannibal vanquished An. mund 3797. hee was vanquished by Scipio who soone after by decree of the Senate concluded a peace with the Enemie Hereupon came his surname of Africanus But here we must consider after what manner the Romans creptout of these most intricate straights for all their fortune now hung by a
