37. eae causae cum Fabium tenerent, Sempronius in obsidione erat et iam operibus oppugnabatur. [2] adversus ligneam ingentem admotam urbi turrem aliam ex ipso muro excitavit consul Romanus, aliquanto altiorem, quia muro satis per se alto subiectis validis sublicis pro solo usus erat. [3] inde primum saxis sudibusque et ceteris missilibus propugnatores moenia atque urbem tuebantur; [4] postremo, ubi promovendo adiunctam muro viderunt turrem, facibus ardentibus plurimum simul ignem coniecerunt. [5] quo incendio trepida armatorum multitudo cum de turre sese praecipitaret, eruptio ex oppido simul duabus portis stationes hostium fudit fugavitque in castra, ut eo die obsesso [p. 168] quam obsidenti similior esset Poenus. [6] ad mille trecenti Carthaginiensium caesi et undesexaginta vivi capti, qui circa muros et in stationibus solute ac neglegenter agentes, cum nihil minus quam eruptionem timuissent, ex inproviso oppressi fuerant. [7] Gracchus, priusquam se hostes ab repentino pavore colligerent, receptui signum dedit ac suos intra muros recepit. [8] postero die Hannibal elatum secunda re consulem iusto proelio ratus certaturum, aciem inter castra atque urbem instruxit; [9] ceterum, postquam neminem moveri ab solita custodia urbis vidit nec committi quicquam temerariae spei, ad Tifata redit infecta re.

quibus diebus Cumae liberatae sunt obsidione, [10] isdem diebus et in Lucanis ad Grumentum Ti. Sempronius, cui Longo cognomen erat, cum Hannone Poeno prospere pugnat. [11] supra duo milia hominum occidit, et ducentos octoginta milites amisit; signa militaria ad quadraginta unum cepit. pulsus finibus Lucanis Hanno retro in Bruttios sese recepit. [12] et ex Hirpinis oppida tria, quae a populo Romano defecerant, vi recepta per M. Valerium praetorem, Vercellium, Vescellium, Sicilinum, et auctores defectionis securi percussi. supra quinque milia captivorum sub hasta venierunt; [13] praeda alia militi concessa, exercitusque Luceriam reductus.
