9. Hannibal quo die Vulturnum est transgressus, haud procul a flumine castra posuit; [2] postero die praeter Cales in agrum Sidicinum pervenit. ibi diem unum populando moratus per Suessanum Allifanumque et Casinatem agrum via Latina ducit. sub Casino biduo stativa habita et passim populationes factae. [3] inde praeter Interamnam Aquinumque in Fregellanum agrum ad Lirim fluvium ventum, ubi intercisum pontem a Fregellanis morandi itineris causa invenit. [4] et Fulvium Vulturnus tenuerat amnis navibus ab Hannibale incensis rates ad traiciendum exercitum in magna inopia materiae aegre comparantem. [5] traiecto ratibus exercitu relicum Fulvio expeditum iter non per urbes modo sed circa viam expositis benigne commeatibus erat, alacresque milites alius alium, ut adderet gradum memor ad defendendam iri patriam, hortabantur. [6] Romam Fregellanus nuntius diem noctemque itinere continuato ingentem attulit terrorem; tumultuosius, quam quod allatum erat, concursus hominum adfingentium vana auditis totam urbem concitat. [7] ploratus mulierum non ex privatis solum domibus exaudiebatur, sed undique matronae in publicum effusae circa deum delubra discurrunt, crinibus passis aras verrentes, nixae genibus, [8] supinas manus ad caelum ac deos tendentes orantesque, ut urbem Romanam e manibus hostium eriperent matresque Romanas et liberos parvos inviolatos [p. 302] servarent. [9] senatus magistratibus in fore praesto est, si quid consulere velint. alii accipiunt imperia disceduntque ad suas quisque officiorum partes, alii offerunt se, si quo usus operae sit. praesidia in arce, in Capitolio, in muris, circa urbem, in monte etiam Albano atque arce Aefulana ponuntur. [10] inter hunc tumultum Q. Fulvium proconsulem profectum cum exercitu Capua adfertur; cui ne minueretur imperium, si in urbem venisset, decernit senatus, ut Q. Fulvio par cum consulibus imperium esset. [11] Hannibal infestius perpopulato agro Fregellano propter intercisos pontis, per Frusinatem Ferentinatemque et Anagninum agrum in Labicanum venit. [12] inde Algido Tusculum petiit, nec receptus moenibus infra Tusculum dextrorsus Gabios descendit. inde in Pupiniam exercitu demisso octo milia passuum ab Roma posuit castra. [13] quo propius hostis accedebat, eo maior caedes fiebat fugientium praecedentibus Numidis, pluresque omnium generum atque aetatium capiebantur.
