LATIN translation help?
Hannibal had kept himself back across the hill, and Fabius alone had departed into the city of Rome (Roman city), and he had left behind the army with a master of cavalry, by the name Minucius, who was holding himself in the field of Larinatus, and was in the garrison to the neighboring towns. But Minucius, because he did not trust the plans of Fabius to be suitable for victory, on account of the love of glory resolved to lead out his own soldiers against the enemy. The camps of the Romans had been positioned in the high hills and a secure place; at sunset, Minucius moved them into the closest plain to the enemy. Hannibal himself understood that the battle was about to begin with not the same general; he moved his own camps toward the enemy and was preparing for battle. Each army saw the other constructing sharp weapons and there was a great enthusiasm for battle. That night, Hannibal sent cavalry to the Roman camp. But horsemen restrained these troops from their own camp of Romans with no trouble.
