Liv. 21.60.1Dum haec in Ītaliā geruntur, Cn. Cornēlius Scīpiō in Hispāniam cum classe et exercitū missus cum ab ōstiō Rhodanī profectus Pȳrēnaeōsque montēs circumvectus Emporiās adpulisset classem, expositō ibi exercitū orsus ā Lacetānīs omnem ōram ūsque ad Hibērum flūmen partim renovandīs societātibus partim novīs īnstituendīs Rōmānae diciōnis fēcit.While these things are being done in Italy, Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio, who had been sent to Spain with a fleet and army, having set out from the mouth of the Rhône and sailed round the Pyrenees, put in with his fleet at Emporiae; landing his army there, and beginning with the Lacetani, he brought the whole coast as far as the river Ebro under Roman sway, partly by renewing alliances and partly by forming new ones. Liv. 21.60.4Inde conciliāta clēmentiae iūstitiaeque fāma nōn ad maritimōs modo populōs sed in mediterrāneīs quoque ac montānīs ad ferōciōrēs iam gentēs valuit;The reputation for clemency and justice won in this way had its effect not only on the coastal peoples but also on the fiercer tribes in the interior and the mountains; Liv. 21.60.4nec pāx modo apud eōs sed societās etiam armōrum parta est, validaeque aliquot auxiliōrum cohortēs ex iīs cōnscrīptae sunt.and not only peace was obtained among them but even an alliance in arms, and several strong cohorts of auxiliaries were enrolled from them.
Liv. 21.60.5Hannōnis cis Hibērum prōvincia erat;The province this side of the Ebro was Hanno's; Liv. 21.60.5eum relīquerat Hannibal ad regiōnis eius praesidium.Hannibal had left him to guard that region. Liv. 21.60.5Itaque, priusquam aliēnārentur omnia, obviam eundum ratus castrīs in cōnspectū hostium positīs in aciem ēdūxit.So, thinking he must go to meet the enemy before everything was alienated, he pitched camp in sight of them and led his army out into line. Liv. 21.60.6Nec Rōmānō differendum certāmen vīsum quippe quī scīret cum Hannōne et Hasdrubale sibi dīmicandum esse mālletque adversus singulōs sēparātim quam adversus duōs simul rem gerere.Nor did the Roman think the battle should be put off, since he knew that he would have to fight with Hanno and Hasdrubal and preferred to deal with each separately rather than with both at once. Liv. 21.60.7Nec magnī certāminis ea dīmicātiō fuit.Nor was that a hard-fought engagement. Liv. 21.60.7Sex mīlia hostium caesa, duo capta cum praesidiō castrōrum;Six thousand of the enemy were slain, two thousand captured along with the guard of the camp; Liv. 21.60.7nam et castra expugnāta sunt, atque ipse dux cum aliquot prīncipibus capiuntur, et Cissis, propinquum castrīs oppidum, expugnātur.for the camp too was stormed, and the general himself is captured with several leading men, and Cissis, a town near the camp, is stormed.
Liv. 21.60.8Cēterum praeda oppidī parvī pretiī rērum fuit, supellex barbarica, ac vīlium mancipiōrum;But the booty from the town was of little value, barbarian household goods and cheap slaves; Liv. 21.60.9castra mīlitem dītāvēre nōn eius modo exercitūs, quī victus erat, sed et eius, quī cum Hannibale in Ītaliā mīlitābat, omnibus ferē cārīs rēbus, nē gravia impedīmenta ferentibus essent, citrā Pȳrēnaeum relictīs.the camp enriched the soldiers, since not only the army that had been beaten but also the one serving with Hannibal in Italy had left almost all their valuables this side of the Pyrenees, so as not to have heavy baggage to carry.
