Hasdrubal stationed the Spaniards on the right wing, with his ten elephants in front of it, and the Gauls on the left, which he kept back.

Long the fortune of battle wavered on the right wing, and the consul Livius who commanded there was hard pressed, till Nero, repeating his strategical operation as a tactical manoeuvre, allowed the motionless enemy opposite to him to remain as they stood, and marching round his own army fell upon the flank of the Spaniards.
This decided the day.

The severely bought and very bloody victory was complete; the army, which had no retreat, was destroyed, and the camp was taken by assault.

Hasdrubal, when he: saw the admirably-conducted battle lost, sought and found like his father an honourable soldier's death.

As an officer and a man, he was worthy to be the brother of Hannibal.
Hannibal Retires to the Bruttian Territory On the day after the battle Nero started, and after scarcely fourteen days' absence once more confronted Hannibal in Apulia, whom no message had reached, and who had not stirred.
