The Punic Wars Quotes

“It took three days and nights to get through the marshes and the army suffered much in the process, the men finding it difficult to rest on the muddy ground so that some were only able to sleep by lying on pack saddles, or the corpses of the many baggage mules which collapsed and died during the journey.”
― Adrian Goldsworthy, The Fall of Carthage: The Punic Wars 265-146BC
