namque ut, collatis admoto consule castris, sustulerat Fortuna moras, signumque furoris accensae viso poscebant hoste cohortes: debellata procul, quaecumque vocantur Hiberis, ingenti Tyrius numerosa per agmina ductor voce sonat; non Pyrenen Rhodanumve ferocem iussa aspernatos, Rutulam fumasse Saguntum, raptum per Celtas iter, et, qua ponere gressum Amphitryoniadae fuerit labor, isse sub armis Poenorum turmas, equitemque per ardua vectum insultasse iugo, et fremuisse hinnitibus Alpes.
For when the consul arrived and the armies faced each other, and Fortune put an end to delays, the soldiers, roused by the sight of the enemy, demanded the signal for the furious assault. Then Hannibals voice rose in a great shout over his mighty host; We have subdued all that distant land that bears the name of Spain; the Pyrenees and the proud Rhone have obeyed our bidding; Rutulian Saguntum has gone up in smoke; we forced a passage through Gaul; and, where Hercules found it hard to tread, the soldiers of Carthage have marched in arms; our horsemen have ridden up the heights and trampled on the peaks, and the Alps have echoed with the snorting of our steeds.
