 | | Upon the second signal the baggage is placed upon the beasts of burden; and at the third, the foremost of the troops begin their march, and the whole camp is put in motion. | | | For as it always is uncertain, what will be the conduct of an officer, or to what accidents he may be exposed; and, as in the affairs of war, there is no room for pretext or excuse; this method is contrived, that the company may not upon any occasion be destitute of a leader. | | | The public magistrates are allotted also by the people to those who are esteemed worthy of them: and these are the noblest rewards that any government can bestow on virtue. |

| | The younger Publius was only 25 at this time and had held no office above that of aedile (i.e., he had been neither praetor nor consul and therefore did not have proconsular or propraetorian imperium). | | | Urged on by hawks such as Cato the Elder (whom we shall meet again later) the Romans sent an expedition under the leadership of P. | | | As a result of these interventions, Rome became much more closely involved in the affairs of the eastern Mediterranean. |

| | A report issued on the affair to Rome was interpreted as a Carthaginian violation of their treaty rather than a description of a great Numidian victory. | | | Immediately after the Second Punic War, Hannibal Barca maintained his power in Carthage and did considerable work to clean up corruption and economic problems within the nation, but his enmity with Rome would eventually force his ouster. | | | As a result the Carthaginians were stripped of their ability to defend themselves and were not allowed to raise an army or conduct war without Roman approval and conditions were moving ever closer to a state of war. |
