Chris ParryGUEST
Picks up the Ga- Gallic tribes, and comes down the east side of Italy, and is defeated at the Battle of the Metaurus River.
Chris ParryGUEST
Uh, a brilliant, I have to say, a brilliant maneuver by the two Roman generals, uh, involved.
Chris ParryGUEST
Uh, in fact, one of them came all the way up from the south, actually was supposed to be watching Hannibal, a chap called Nero, oddly enough.
Chris ParryGUEST
[laughs] His family name is Nero, and he takes 3,000 troops to join his colleague.
Chris ParryGUEST
And had he got that wrong, he would've been executed, 'cause he had left a consular front against Hannibal to do that.
Chris ParryGUEST
But Battle of the Metaurus, Hasdrubal is defeated and killed, so any chance of Hannibal being resupplied now- Yeah ... from Spain evaporates.
Chris ParryGUEST
Scipio takes over the whole, uh, of Iberia, uh, that is, uh, was previously under Carthaginian control, comes back and becomes consul age 31, uh, uh, in 2- uh, 205.

Amy of New ZealandNARRATOR
The path took me nearer, and with my hat so set that it might best conceal my face, I was all eyes.

Amy of New ZealandNARRATOR

Amy of New ZealandNARRATOR
Amerini, Fanfulla had seen slain, whilst the remaining two, being both unhorsed, would doubtless be the prisoners of Masuccio.
Amy of New ZealandNARRATOR
Some three miles beyond Sant'Angelo, Fanfulla's weary horse splashed across a ford of the Metauro, and thus, towards the second hour of night, they gained the territory of Urbino, where for the time they might hold themselves safe from all pursuit.
Amy of New ZealandNARRATOR
