Livy Text Test #1

in parte operis mei licet mihi praefari bellum maxime omnium

memorabile quae unquam gesta sint me scripturum, quod

Hannibale duce Carthaginienses cum populo Romano gessere.

nam neque validiores opibus ullae inter se civitates gentesque

5 contulerunt arma neque his ipsis tantum unquam virium aut

roboris fuit; et haud ignotas belli artes inter sese sed expertas

primo Punico conferebant bello, et adeo varia fortuna belli fuit ut

propius periculum fuerint qui vicerunt. odiis etiam prope

maioribus certarunt quam viribus, Romanis indignantibus quod

10 victoribus victi ultro inferrent arma, Poenis quod superbe avareque

crederent imperitatum victis esse.
