States, "Bellum maxime omnium memorable, quae unquam gesta sint, me scripturum; quod, Hannibale duce, Carthaginienses cum populo Romano gessere. Nam neque validiores opibus ullae inter se civitates gentesque contulerunt arma, neque his ipsis tantum unquam virium aut roboris fuit: et haud ignotas belli artes inter se, sed expertas, primo Punico conserebant bello: odiis etiam prope majoribus certarunt quam viribus: et adeo varia belli fortuna ancepsque Mars fuit, ut propius periculum fuerint qui vicerunt.-Livy, lib. xxi.;" features an emblem of a royal crown and "British Museum." Signed at bottom "Small Royal Crown impressed on end papers, titiles, etc., passion."
