Image description

"Peace or War?" After the fall of Saguntum ambassadors were sent from Rome to remonstrate with the Senate for breaking the treaty between Rome and Carthage. Quintus Fabius, the spokesman of the envoys, gathering his robe into folds, said: "Here we bring you peace and war; take which you please." In reply they shouted: "Give us which you please." Shaking out a fold, the Roman said: "I give you war;" to which the reply from all was: "We accept it." This was the beginning of the Second Punic War. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
