Ac ne nostra confessis alienigenae urbes insultent, Carthaginienses Hannibalem, qui pro illorum incolumitate et victoria tot imperatores totque exercitus nostros trucidaverat quot, gregarios milites hostium si occidisset, magnae gloriae foret, conspectu suo summovere animum induxerunt.

Hannibal had killed numerous Roman generals and armies, which would have been a remarkable achievement if he had killed enemy soldiers instead of soldiers that were supposed to provide safety and victory for the Carthaginians.
