HOW TO THINK IN LATIN
_Flaminius atones for his rashness._[44]
[Footnote 44: Cf. p. 126.] [[Selection C19]]
Tres ferme horas pugnatum est et ubique atrociter;
circa consulem tamen acrior infestiorque pugna est.
Eum et robora virorum sequebantur, et ipse, quacunque
in parte premi ac laborare senserat suos, impigre ferebat
opem; insignemque armis et hostes summa vi petebant {5}
et tuebantur cives, donec Insuber eques (Ducario nomen
erat) facie quoque noscitans consulem, ‘En’ inquit ‘hic
est’ popularibus suis, ‘qui legiones nostras cecidit agrosque
et urbem est depopulatus. Iam ego hanc victimam manibus
peremptorum foede civium dabo.’ Subditisque calcaribus {10}
equo per confertissimam hostium turbam impetum
facit, obtruncatoque prius armigero, qui se infesto venienti
obviam obiecerat, consulem lancea transfixit; spoliare
cupientem triarii obiectis scutis arcuere.
LIVY, xxii. 6.
The heading and the author will at once suggest the stirring incident in
the Battle of Lake Trasimene, when Flaminius atoned for his rashness by
his gallant example and death.
