27. postquam neque elicere Poenum ad certamen obversati castris poterant neque castrorum oppugnatio facilis erat, [2] urbem Ascuam, quo finis hostium ingrediens Hasdrubal frumentum commeatusque alios convexerat, vi capiunt omnique circa agro potiuntur; nec iam aut in agmine aut in castris ullo imperio contineri. [3] quam ubi neglegentiam ex re ut fit, bene gesta oriri senserat Hasdrubal, cohortatus milites, ut palatos sine signis hostes adgrederentur, degressus colle pergit ire acie instructa ad castra. [4] quem ut adesse tumultuose nuntii refugientes ex speculis stationibusque attulere, ad arma conclamatum est. [5] ut quisque arma ceperat, sine imperio, sine signo, incompositi, inordinati in proelium ruunt. iam primi conseruerant manus, cum alii catervatim currerent, alii nondum e castris exissent. [6] tamen primo ipsa audacia terruere hostem; deinde rari in confertos inlati, cum paucitas parum tuta esset, respicere alii alios et undique pulsi coire in orbem, [7] et dum corpora corporibus applicant armaque armis iungunt, in artum conpulsi, cum vix movendis armis satis spatii esset, corona hostium cincti ad multum diei caeduntur; exigua pars eruptione facta silvas ac montis petit. [8] parique terrore et castra sunt deserta et universa gens postero die in deditionem venit.

nec diu in pacto mansit; [9] nam subinde ab Carthagine allatum est, ut Hasdrubal primo quoque tempore in Italiam exercitum duceret, quae volgata res per Hispaniam omnium ferme animos ad Romanos avertit. [10] itaque Hasdrubal extemplo litteras Carthaginem mittit indicans, quanto fama profectionis suae damno fuisset; si vero inde pergeret, priusquam Hiberum transiret, Romanorum Hispaniam fore: [11] nam praeterquam quod nec praesidium nec ducem haberet, quem relinqueret pro se, eos imperatores esse Romanos, quibus vix aequis viribus resisti posset; [12] itaque si ulla Hispaniae cura esset, successorem sibi cum valido exercitu mitterent; cui ut omnia prospere evenirent, non tamen [p. 156] otiosam provinciam fore.
