19 (ad fin. ) :cum templum Ves- tae arderet, Caecilius Metellus pon- tifex maximus ex incendio sacra r a p u i t, and this 19th book of Livy's own work was Augus- tine's source.
128. 17. His quoque fatentibus qui non tam narrare bella Romana quam Romanum imperium laudare instituer- u n t .
In these words Augustine refers chiefly to Florus whose words he at once proceeds to quote.
128. 19. Similior victo fuerit ille qui v i c i t .
135 These words are a quotation from Florus Epit. I. 22. I: simi
...lior victo sit populus ille qui V i c i t, which is an additional proof that Augustine used Florus as one of his authorities. Dombart gives this refer- ence.
128. 27. De Cannensi autem mirabiliter horrendo malo.
See Livy 22. 44. Sq. , Florus Epit. I. 22. 15, Eutrop. Brev. 3. 10.
128. 28. Ubi Hannibal.. .. Tanta inimi- corum atrocissimorum caede satiatus parci iussisse perhibetur.
Here again Augustine has followed Florus, for Livy does not mention the incident. Compare Florus Epit. I. 22. 17: Itaque duo maximi exercitus caesiad hostium satietatem, donee Hannibal diceret militi suo 'parce ferro.
