To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ajinoyed beyond measure at this unexpected resistance, Hannibal now erected a wooden terrace and a huge movable tower, armed with a goodly force of men and missile-throw- ers on every story, moved it up to the ditch, drove the be- sieged away from the wall and undermined it. This latter was a work which could be done with pickaxes, because the stones were not laid in cement, but clay. Thus a further breach was opened. A fresh assault met with no greater re- sult, for the troops found a demi-lun...e built behind the breach.
But Hannibal held what he had got, and though constantly opposed by newly erected walls behind each breach he man- aged to operate, he made a slow but certain progress ; for with each point gained he had a proportionately better chance for the next assault, lacking not men.
Meanwhile, the siege was interrupted by an uprising of the Tagus barbarians, which was of so dangerous a nature that Hannibal deemed it essential to go to the scene of action in person. He left Maharbal, son of Himilco, in command.
