2 Question 2. Unseen Translation. (25 marks) The Patriotism of Decius Bellum gerebatur a Romanis cum Latinis, gente finitima,. Ante proelium principes Romanorum fecerunt sacrificia. Omina autem erant pessima. Itaque rogaverunt oraculum, Quomodo ira deorum avertetur a nobis et victoria reportabitur? Diutissime oraculum respondit nihil; tandem inquit, Certe reportabitis victoriam, si dux ex copiis vestris interficietur primus in proelio. Tum Decius, unus ex consulibus, petivit auxilium a deis his verbis: Juppiter, nunc do me morti pro patria et legionibus. Ubi dixit haec, se armavit diligenter. Deinde ascendit in equum et processit solus in medios hostes. Hostes, conspicientes consulem advenientem ad eos, primo erant attoniti ob audaciam viri. Brevi tempore autem inceperunt mittere sagittas hastasque in eum appropinquantem, neque ille vitavit suum finem diu; mox cecidit vulneratus multis telis. Romani autem, servati morte unius viri, oppugnaverunt Latinos ferociter; ubi bellum nunc renovatum est, hostes superati sunt facillime.
