Non illum Poenus humator
consulis et Libyca succensae lampade Cannae
conpellunt, hominum ritus ut servet in hoste,
sed meminit nondum satiata caedibus ira,
cives esse suos.
Neither the Carthaginian burier
of consuls nor Cannae set aflame by Libyan torch
convince him to honor the customs of humanity towards the enemy.
No: his rage is not yet satisfied by the slaughter,
and he remembers that the men are his own.
The word humator appears only once in the corpus of Latin literature: line 799 of Lucan's Pharsalia VII. This Carthaginian's name is Hannibal, great enemy of Rome, great burier of Romans, more threshold god than man. In these lines he stands opposite Caesar across two centuries. On the shores of empire: A Roman who kills Romans. No remorse, no funerals. From memory: the ghost of an enemy general. Always haunting, always at the gates.
