Author Description

Excerpt from The History of Rome, Vol. 2 of 2 Scipio, herefore, having bestowed liberal commendations on Si lanus, and seeing reason to hope that he might be able to finish the dispute at once by exerting himself with proper activity, advanced into Farther Spain against Hasdrubal. The Car thaginian, (who happened at that time to hate his army in Betica, for the purpose of securing the fidelity of his allies in that country, ) do caraping hastily, led it away, in a manner much more resembling a ight than a march, quite to the ocean and Gades. He was fearful, how ever, that as long as he kept his forces together, he should be considered as the primary object of the enemy's operations. Before he passed over the strait to Gades, he therefore dis persad them into the different cities; in the View, likewise, that they might provide for their own safety by help of walls, and for that of the towns by their arms.
