However, as he (Cato the Elder) applied himself more strenuously to moneygetting,
he came to regard agriculture as more entertaining that profitable, and invested his
capital in business that was safe and sure. He bought ponds, hot springs, districts given
over to fullers, pitch factories, land with natural pasture and forest, all of which brought
him large profits and “could not”, to use his own phrase, “be ruined by Jupiter.” (B.
Perrin).

Aristeides from Elea sailed with 12 triremes to fight Dyonisus who was besieging
Caulonia. When Dyonisus saw him, he sailed against him with 15 ships. Aristeides then
withdrew his ships and when night came, gave the order to raise the ships’ lanterns to have
Dyonisus’ ships following them. After a while, he lowered them and dropped some at sea
on some floating cork devices. After having done so, he sailed towards Caulonia’s landing
place arriving earlier than Dyonisus’ men, who were still following the light coming from
the floating devices. (D. Bartoli)

I myself found on Lacinium a bronze tablet, which Hannibal had caused to be
inscribed with these particulars when he was in Italy; and holding it to be an entirely
trustworthy authority for such facts, I did not hesitate to follow it. (E.S. Shuckburgh).
