“At barbarī, cōnsiliō Rōmānōrum cognitō, praemīssō equitātū et essedāriīs — quō plērumque genere in proeliīs ūtī consuērunt; reliquīs copiīs subsecūtī, nostrōs nāvibus ēgredī prohibēbant.”

But the barbarians, having understood the Romans’ plan, sent forward their cavalry and charioteers — a type of warfare which they generally were accustomed to employ in battles; [and] following closely with the rest of their forces, they sought to prevent our [men] from disembarking from the ships.
