Liv. 21.15.1Captum oppidum est cum ingentī praedā.The town was taken with an immense amount of plunder. Liv. 21.15.1Quamquam plēraque ab dominīs dē industriā corrupta erant, et in caedibus vix ūllum discrīmen aetātis īra fēcerat, et captīvī mīlitum praeda fuerant, tamen et ex pretiō rērum vēnditārum aliquantum pecūniae redāctum esse cōnstat et multam pretiōsam supellectilem vestemque missam Carthāginem.Although most things had been deliberately destroyed by their owners, and anger had made hardly any distinction of age in the killing, and the captives had been the soldiers' booty, nevertheless it is agreed both that a considerable sum of money was raised from the price of goods sold and that much costly furniture and clothing was sent to Carthage. Liv. 21.15.3Octāvō mēnse quam coeptum oppugnārī, captum Saguntum quīdam scrīpsēre;Some have written that Saguntum was captured in the eighth month after the siege began; Liv. 21.15.3inde Carthāginem Novam in hīberna Hannibalem concessisse;that Hannibal then withdrew to New Carthage into winter quarters; Liv. 21.15.3quīntō deinde mēnse, quam ab Carthāgine profectus sit, in Ītaliam pervēnisse.and that in the fifth month after setting out from Carthage he reached Italy. Liv. 21.15.4Quae sī ita sunt fierī nōn potuit, ut P. Cornēlius Ti. Semprōnius cōnsulēs fuerint, ad quōs et prīncipiō oppugnātiōnis lēgātī Saguntīnī missī sint et quī in suō magistrātū cum Hannibale, alter ad Ticīnum amnem, ambō aliquantō post ad Trebiam, pugnāverint.If this is so, it cannot have been the case that Publius Cornelius and Tiberius Sempronius were the consuls to whom the Saguntine envoys were sent at the beginning of the siege, and who in their year of office fought with Hannibal, one at the river Ticinus, both somewhat later at the Trebia.
Liv. 21.15.5Aut omnia breviōra aliquantō fuēre aut Saguntum prīncipiō annī, quō P. Cornēlius Ti. Semprōnius cōnsulēs fuērunt, nōn coeptum oppugnārī est, sed captum.Either everything took somewhat less time, or Saguntum was not first attacked but captured at the beginning of the year in which Publius Cornelius and Tiberius Sempronius were consuls. Liv. 21.15.6Nam excessisse pugna ad Trebiam in annum Cn. Servīlī et C. Flāminī nōn potest, quia C. Flāminius Arīminī cōnsulātum iniit, creātus ā Ti. Semprōniō cōnsule, quī post pugnam ad Trebiam ad creandōs cōnsulēs Rōmam cum vēnisset, comitiīs perfectīs ad exercitum in hīberna rediit.For the battle at the Trebia cannot have fallen as late as the year of Gnaeus Servilius and Gaius Flaminius, because Gaius Flaminius entered his consulship at Ariminum, having been elected under the presidency of the consul Tiberius Sempronius, who, after coming to Rome following the battle at the Trebia to hold the consular elections, returned to the army in winter quarters once the elections were over.
