Scipio Sends the Envoys Home

command of it in his place, while he himself went a round of the cities. This time
he did not admit to mercy those who voluntarily surrendered, but carried all the towns by
force, and enslaved the inhabitants, to show his
anger at the treachery of the Carthaginians. To
Massanissa he sent message after message, explaining to him
how the Punic government had broken the terms, and urging
him to collect the largest army he was able and join him with
all speed. For as soon as the treaty had been made, Massanissa, as I have said, had immediately departed with his own
army and ten Roman cohorts, infantry and cavalry, accompanied by some commissioners from Scipio, that he might not
only recover his own kingdom, but secure the addition of that
of Syphax also, by the assistance of the Romans. And this
purpose was eventually effe

coming to any terms; and next morning by
daybreak both generals drew out their forces
and engaged. To the Carthaginians it was a
struggle for their own lives and the sovereignty
of Libya; to the Romans for universal dominion and supremacy.
And could any one who grasped the situation fail to be moved
at the story? Armies more fitted for war than these, or
generals who had been more successful or more thoroughly
trained in all the operations of war, it would be impossible to
find, or any other occasion on which the prizes proposed by
destiny to the combatants were more momentous. For it was
not merely of Libya or Europe that the victors in this battle
were destined to become masters, but of all other parts of the
world known to history,—a destiny which had not to wait
long for its fulfilment.

he had performed a glorious and honourable
achievement; for while displaying great zeal in
behalf of his brother-in-law (Prusias), and overawing all who opposed his policy, he had secured for himself in
fair warfare a large supply of slaves and money. But the reverse
of this picture he did not see in the least, although it was quite
plain. In the first place, that he was assisting his brother-inlaw, who, without receiving any provocation, was treacherously
assailing his neighbours. In the second place, that by involving
a Greek city without just cause in the most dreadful misfortunes,
he was sure to confirm the report, which had been widely
spread, of his severity to his friends; and by both of these
actions would justly gain throughout Greece the reputation of a
man reckless of the di

assembly accompanied by the young king and
his own sister Agathocleia. At first he feigned
not to be able to say what he wished for tears;
but after again and again wiping his eyes with his chlamys he
at length mastered his emotion, and, taking the young king in
his arms, spoke as follows: "Take this boy, whom his father
on his death-bed placed in this lady's arms" (pointing to his
sister) "and confided to your loyalty, men of Macedonia! That
lady's affection has but little influence in securing the child's
safety: it is on you that that safety now depends; his fortunes
are in your hands. It has long been evident to those who
had eyes to see, that Tlepolemus was aiming at something
higher than his natural rank; but now he has named the day
and hour on which he intends to assume the
