Aye, there can be now further conflict with Carthage for now. We have one legion that is understrength, and though we may have gone up against less forces than expected on Sicily, the same can not be said of the city Carthage itself. If we would go there, the Carthaginians would wipe us out. Let there be no doubt, we have the finest army in the world, but our men are just that, men. And our legion can not go up against the full might of Carthage.
