Livy, 24.3.6: Magni igitur fructus ex eo pecore capti, columnaque inde aurea solida facta
et sacrata est.
Therefore great profits were made from the cattle, and out of the profits a massive
golden column was wrought and consecrated. (Trans: F. Gardner Moore).
Livy 24.3.12-5: Morituros se adfirmabant citius quam inmixti Bruttiis in alienos ritus
mores legesque ac mox linguam etiam verterentur. Aristomachus unus, quando nec
suadendo ad deditionem satis valebat nec, sicut urbem prodiderat, locum prodendae arcis
inveniebat, transfugit ad Hannonem. Locrenses brevi post legati, cum permissu Hannonis
arcem intrassent, persuadent ut traduci se in Locros paterentur nec ultima experiri vellent.
Iam hoc ut sibi liceret impetraverant et ab Hannibale missis ad id ipsum legatis. Ita
Crotone excessum est deductique Crotoniatae ad mare naves conscendunt. Locros omnis
multitudo abeunt.
They [Croton’s aristocrats] claimed that they would sooner die than mingle with
the Bruttians and change to the rites, customs and laws, and presently even the language, of
another people. Aristomachus, since he was unable by persuasion to bring them to
surrender and could find no opportunity to betray the citadel, as he had betrayed the city,
alone went over to Hanno. Soon after that the Locrians legates entered the citadel with
Hanno’s consent and persuaded them to allow themselves to be transferred to Locri, and
not to risk desperate measures. Permission to that effect they had already obtained from
Hannibal, having sent legates for that very purpose. So Croton was evacuated, and the
Crotonians were led down to the sea and went on shipboard. They went, the whole number
of them, to Locri. (F. Gardner Moore).
Livy 27.25.11: Locros in Bruttiis Crispinus oppugnare conatus, quia magnam famam
attulisse Fabio Tarentum rebatur, omne genus tormentorum machinarumque ex Sicilia
arcessierat; et naves indidem accitae erant quae vergentem ad mare partem urbis
oppugnarent.
Crispinus attempted to besiege Locri in the land of the Bruttii, because he thought
that Tarentum had brought great repute to Fabius; and he had requisitioned artillery and
machines of every kind from Sicily. And from the same quarter ships also had been sent
for, to attack the part of the city facing the sea.” (F. Gardner Moore).

Livy 28.46.15: In Bruttiis nihil ferme anno eo memorabile gestum. Pestilentia incesserat
pari clade in Romanos Poenosque, nisi quod Punicum exercitum super morbum etiam
fames adfecit. Propter Iunonis Laciniae templum aestatem Hannibal egit, ibique aram
condidit dedicavitque cum ingenti rerum ab se gestarum titulo, Punicis Graecisque litteris
insculpto.
In the land of the Bruttians virtually nothing notable was done that year. An
epidemic, equally disastrous to both, had attacked Romans and Carthaginians, with this
difference that in addition to disease hunger also weakened the Carthaginian army.
Hannibal spent the summer near the temple of Juno Lacinia, and there erected an altar and
dedicated it together with a great record of his achievements in a Punic and Greek
inscription. (F. Gardner Moore).
