1. dum haec, si modo hoc anno acta sunt, Romae1 aguntur, consules ambo in Liguribus gerebant bellum. [2] is hostis velut natus ad continendam inter magnorum intervalla bellorum Romanis militarem disciplinam erat; nec alia provincia militem magis ad virtutem acuebat. [3] nam Asia et amoenitate urbium et copia terrestrium maritimarumque rerum et mollitia hostium regiisque opibus ditiores quam fortiores exercitus faciebat. [4] praecipue sub imperio Cn. Manlii solute ac neglegenter habiti sunt. itaque asperius paulo iter in Thracia et exercitatior hostis magna clade eos castigavit. [5] in Liguribus omnia erant quae militem excitarent, loca montana et aspera, quae et ipsis capere labor erat et ex praeoccupatis deicere hostem; [6] et itinera ardua angusta infesta insidiis; hostis levis et velox et repentinus, qui nullum usquam tempus,2 nullum locum quietum aut securum esse [p. 220] sineret; oppugnatio necessaria munitorum castellorum,3 laboriosa simul periculosaque; inops regio, quae parsimonia astringeret milites, praedae haud multum praeberet. [7] itaque non lixa sequebatur, non iumentorum longus ordo agmen extendebat. nihil praeter arma et viros omnem spem in armis habentes erat. [8] nec deerat umquam cum iis vel materia belli vel causa, quia propter domesticam inopiam vicinos agros incursabant. nec tamen in discrimen summae rerum pugnabatur.
