Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 3 of 6
Caius Flaminius, consul, a man of rash and inconsiderate conduct, is involved, by the artifice of Hannibal, in a dangerous defile, and cut of, with the greatest part of his army Fabius Maximus created dictator, and sent against Hannibal; avoids fighting and baffles Hannibal's efforts. The master of the horse, Marcus Minucius, excites general dissatisfaction against the dictator's dilatory conduct; is made equal to him in authority; engages the enemy with his half of the forces, and is saved from utter destruction by Fabius coming opportunity to his relief, with the other half of the Roman army; acknowledges his misconduct, and puts himself again under the command of the dictator. Hannibal, shut up by Fabius, in a valley at Cassilinum, extricates himself by a stratagem of tying fire-brands to the horns of oxen. Ӕmilius Paulllus and Terentius Varro utterly defeated at Cannӕ, the former being slain, with forty-five thousand men, of whom were eighty senators, and thirty who had served the office of consul, prӕtor, or ӕdile. A project of abandoning Italy quashed by Publius Cornelius Scipio, a military tribune, who afterwards acquired the surname of Africanus, Prosperous e ents in Spain. The Romans enlist slaves; refuse to ransom the prisoners; go out, in a body, to meet Varro, and thank him for not despairing of the commonwealth.

He had been foiled before, in his attempt to pass over the Appennine, by the intolerable severity of the cold; for he would gladly have affected it, exposed as he was, during his stay in quarters, to the utmost degree of apprehension and danger.
