Book 2, IV. On creating panic in the enemy's ranks.
17 The Spaniards, when fighting against Hamilcar, hitched steers to carts and placed them in the front line. These carts they filled with pitch, tallow, and sulphur, and when the signal for battle was given, set them afire. Then, driving the steers against the enemy, they threw the line into panic and broke through.

Libro 2, IV Come creare il panico nell'esercito nemico
17. Gli Spagnoli che combattevano contro Amilcare disposero in prima linea i buoi aggiogati ai carri cui appiccarono il fuoco al segnale dell’attacco dopo averli riempiti di legno resinoso, pece e zolfo; quando i buoi furono spinti contro il nemico, scompaginarono lo schieramento preso dal panico.
