Livy's History of Rome: Book 30
Close of the Hannibalic War
Translation starts with :
It was now the sixteenth year of the Punic War. The new consuls, Cnaeus Servilius and Caius Servilius, laid before the senate the questions of the general policy of the republic, the conduct of the war and the assignment of the provinces. It was resolved that the consuls should come to an arrangement, or failing that decide by ballot, which of them should oppose Hannibal in Bruttium whilst the other should have Etruria and the Ligurians as his province......... | | | |

Itaque Hannibal, postquam ipsi sententia stetit pergere ire atque1 Italiam petere, advocata2 contione varie militum versat animos castigando adhortandoque: [2] mirari se quinam pectora semper [86] impavida repens terror invaserit. per tot annos3 vincentes eos stipendia facere neque ante Hispania excessisse quam omnes gentesque et terrae4 quas duo diversa maria amplectantur Carthaginiensium essent. [3] indignatos deinde quod quicumque Saguntum obsedissent velut ob noxam sibi dedi postularet populus Romanus, Hiberum traiecisse5 ad delendum nomen Romanorum liberandumque orbem terrarum. [4] tum nemini visum id longum, cum ab occasu solis ad exortus intenderent iter; [5] nunc, postquam multo maiorem partem itineris6 emensam cernant, Pyrenaeum saltum inter ferocissimas gentes superatum, Rhodanum, tantum amnem, tot milibus Gallorum prohibentibus, domita etiam ipsius fluminis vi traiectum, in conspectu Alpes habeant, quarum alterum latus Italiae sit, [6?] in ipsis portis hostium fatigatos subsistere—quid Alpes aliud esse credentes quam montium altitudines? [7] fingerent altiores Pyrenaei iugis: nullas profecto terras caelum contingere nec inexsuperabiles7 humano generi esse.
| | A. | There are multiple online translations: if you are having trouble, look up your target passage and work back towards the Latin from its crib:
30. Hannibal, therefore, when his own resolution was fixed to proceed
in his course and advance on Italy, having summoned an assembly, works
upon the minds of the soldiers in various ways, by reproof and
exhortation. He said, that "he wondered what sudden fear had seized
breasts ever before undismayed: that through so many years they had
made their campaigns with conquest; nor had departed from Spain before
all the nations and countries which two opposite seas embrace, were
subjected to the Carthaginians. That then, indignant that the Romans
demanded those, whosoever had besieged Saguntum, to be delivered up to
them, as on account of a crime, they had passed the Iberus to blot out
the name of the Romans, and to emancipate the world. That then the way
seemed long to no one, though they were pursuing it from the setting
to the rising of the sun. That now, when they saw by far the greater
part of their journey accomplished, the passes of the Pyrenees
surmounted, amid the most ferocious nations, the Rhone, that mighty
river, crossed, in spite of the opposition of so many thousand Gauls,
the fury of the river itself having been overcome, when they had the
Alps in sight, the other side of which was Italy, should they halt
through weariness at the very gates of the enemy, imagining the Alps
to be--what else than lofty mountains? That supposing them to be
higher than the summits of the Pyrenees, assuredly no part of the
earth reached the sky, nor was insurmountable by mankind.

NB
Don't think you can use an off-the-peg translation as is. It usually won't work.
Match the English to the Latin sentence by sentence, and then write out a fresh translation in your own words.
There are often shortcuts to understanding Latin, but they need to be treated with respect. | | | |
| Q. | The Ancient Latin saying "Hannibal Ante Portas" could it be? | Related Search:
Philosophy | | |
..." Cannibal Ante Portas " because of our modern Society's ways?
Translations: "Hannibal before the gates!" Refers to the threat to Rome imposed by Hannibal's Italy campaign. Conveys a sense of greater distress than Hannibal ante portas, for ad suggests, unlike ante, a movement towards the gates. Cicero, Philippica I; Livius, Ab urbe condita XXIII It is used to refer to those who dither in times of great peril.
| | A. | Hannibal non est ante portas, sed superavit illas.
Humana natura sic est et sic erat in omnia tempora.
Quod ab initio vitiosum est, non potest tractu termporis convalescere.
Non est culpa timoris Hannibalis. | | | |
| Q. | Basic CHRONOLOGY..please HELP...? | Related Search:
Mathematics | | | If the city of Rome was founded in 753 BC and it was finally sacked in 476 AD, how long did it last?
If 1 AUC (Ab Urbe Condita) is equal to 753 BC, what year would 7AUC be in our calendar?
THANKS A LOT! ^_^
| | A. | just remember that when going from BC to AD, there is no year zero.
so you can treat 753 BC as -753, and 476 AD as +476
and subtract:
476 - (-753) = 1229
but then adjust by subtracting a year, since there is no year 0:
1228 years from 753 BC to 476 AD
that's the short answer -- there have been a number of calendar changes during that time, but I don't think we need to get into that here
7AUC is 6 years after 1AUC (7-1=6)
753 - 6 = 747 BC
"basic chronology?" --- hmm, I see the previous two answers given failed miserably! | | | |
| Q. | Is 634 BCE the end of all of us? | Related Search:
Religion & Spirituality | | | They said on the interduct that Rome would be destroyed in the 120th year of its founding. The 12 eagles had revealed to Romulus a mystical number representing the lifetime of Rome, and some early Romans hypothesized that each eagle represented 10 years. The Roman calendar is counted from the founding of Rome, 1 AUC (ab urbe condita) being 753 BCE. Thus 120 AUC is 634 BCE.
Pastor W: He died 33 years before he was born? Jesus Christ, that's impressive.
h'ayim: off by about 1200 years there.

Passover | | | The 3rd century is the period from 201 to 300 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Christian Era. The hebrew calender used today by rabbi's was set up in the third century of the common era.The new moon was March 7, 2008 which started the first month and 14 days after that is the new year for children of Isreal and there companions.The 3rd century is the period from 201 to 300 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Christian Era.The Julian calendar was a reform of the Roman calendar which was introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 BC and came into force in 45 BC (709 ab urbe condita). It was chosen after consultation with the astronomer Sosigenes of Alexandria and was probably designed to approximate the tropical year, known at least since Hipparchus. It has a regular year of 365 days divided into 12 months, and a leap day is added to February every four years. Hence the Julian year is on average 365.25 days long.
The Julian calendar remained in use into the 20th century.
| | A. | YES!!! It does. We kept Passover/Pesach that night. The blood red full moon that night just confirmed it. Our new year started on the new moon which was on the evening of March 8. It was a wonderful Passover with family and friends and we started out Feast of Unleavened Bread off with a great start. 12 months is according to Torah (there is no 13th month!!!) You cannot find a 13th month in the Scriptures, only 12. Right now it's so hard switching ove to Yah's cycle instead of using the Roman/Julian/Gregorian pagan calendar. But we have been keeping the new moons for about a year and used them to determine our feast days accordingly. Last year it was about 1-2 days off compared to the "jews/gregorian calculating" but this year it's almost a whole month off from them. I wish I could send you the picture of the blood red moon on passover this year, it was so beautiful. Keep studying, don't let anyone tell you different. YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. Just know that there are only a few of us that know this and that have our eyes open to it. The others just haven't been given that knowledge yet. It will come someday. I'd love to have your email address. It's so hard to find people out there that are studying the same things as us. My email is: [Link] . Jessica Oren. May Yahuah favour you and your family and you studies. Remember it was the leavening of the Pharisees and oracles that 'changed' Yah's cycle. They started to 'pre plan' the feast days instead of going by the new moons. It was more convenient for one reason, but not Torah. You are right that there have been many changes over the past 2000 years in the "calendar" that the Yahudim use (jews) ... they have been cursed by their own interpretaitons/the Talmud and the Mishnah. When we 'lean' on our own understanding we forsake our Eternal Father and his commands, which he made so easy for us to follow. HE EVEN PUT A HUGE LIGHT IN THE SKY FOR ALL TIME TO GO BY. And another light to determine when to start and end our day (the sun)... | | | |
