Latin 3
Tonight’s homework is to identify clauses and look up vocabulary for reading #9, paragraphs 17-19:
Tertio anno postquam Scipio ad Hispanias profectus fuerat, rursus res inclutas gerit. Regem Hispaniarum magno proelio victum in amicitiam accepit et primus omnium a victo obsides non poposcit.
Desperans Hannibal Hispanias contra Scipionem diutius posse retineri, fratrem suum Hasdrubalem ad Italiam cum omnibus copiis evocavit. Is, veniens eodem itinere, quo etiam Hannibal venerat, a consulibus Ap. Claudio Nerone et M. Livio Salinatore apud Senam, Piceni civitatem, in insidias conpositas incidit. Strenue tamen pugnans occisus est; ingentes eius copiae captae aut interfectae sunt, magnum pondus auri atque argenti Romam relatum est. Post haec Hannibal diffidere iam de belli coepit eventu. Romanis ingens animus accessit; itaque et ipsi evocaverunt ex Hispania P. Cornelium Scipionem. Is Romam cum ingenti gloria venit.
Q. Caecilio L. Valerio consulibus, omnes civitates, quae in Brittiis ab Hannibale tenebantur, Romanis se tradiderunt.
