In Early Spring

After I have broke down Crassus' line, I had suffered two defeats at my hands in Lucania. This is when I retired again to Bruttuim (Calabria), where I defeated two of Crassus' lieutenants who were following him. Encouraged, my men persuaded me to risk a major battle with Crassus. In it, I had about 60,000 of my men that were killed in the battle.
