Hannibalem aiunt dixisse, cum fossam sanguine humano plenam vidisset : "O formonsum spectaculum ! " Quanto pulchrius illi visum esset, si flumen aliquod lacumque complesset ! Quid mirum, si hoc maxime spectaculo caperis innatus sanguini et ab infante caedibus admotus ? Sequetur te fortuna crudelitati tuae per viginti annos secunda dabitque oculis tuis gratum ubique spectaculum ; videbis istud et circa Trasumennum et circa Cannas et novissime circa Carthaginem tuam.
