army could carry or drive along" His men,
afflicted with scuryy, and his horses enfeebled
by ulcerous humors, 5wero here recruited in
their strength. So abundant were his stores OF
corn and wine for the refresh ment of man and
beast in his army that at this time he ordered the
horses to be bathed with old wine in order 10 hale
their distempers. When he descended into the
Falernian plain of Campania he had taken many
thousand cattle, with corn and wine in abundance
and all these be carried with him to Geronium,
the point on the edge Of the Apulian plain where,
at that period of his protracted campaign, he es-
tablished his winter quarters, while with his supe-
rior cavalry he could forage on the surrounding
country at will. Thence he proceeded, In the fol-
lowing spring, to Canne, in the citadel Of which
the Romans had collected stores for the supply of
their army. These stores fell into the hands of
Hannibal on the capture of this post by the loss
of which, as it commanded the surrounding couu-
try, the Roman army was compelled to choose be-
tween starvation or battle. Hence The issue which
Varro joined at that place, and which resulted in
the total defeat of the Roman arms
And here we will call halt in our review Ir-
deed, we need not pursue the subject any farther
for the purpose of answering the particular inqui-
ries Of our correspondent with regard to the sub
sistence of the armies of Xerxes and Hannibal.
We have shown that these great masters Of men
had "system" under this head, and that there
is no "mystery" about it which is not revealed to
the careful reader of ancient history, while it is
safe to say that there has been in modern times no
improvement on the science Of this branch of war
as understood by Hannibal, however great may be
our superiority in the mechanical appliances by
which that science is converted into an art It is
certain that with mules and pack-saddles for his
transportation he went further in continuous line
of march than any army Of ours has yet gone with
the aid of steam transports and railroads.
At future day we may institute an inquiry ino
the military system of the Greeks and Romans un-
der the head of commissarat supplies for the army
The materials for such an inquiry are instructive
if not the most abundant
