Scipio sent M. Silanus against him with a force of not more than 10,000 infantry and 500 cavalry. Silanus marched with all the speed he could, but his progress was impeded by the bad state of the roads and by the narrow mountain passes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
