| Fabius Cunctator, or the delayer, so called from the policy of delay which he opposed to the vigorous movements of Hannibal. |

| Fabius Pictor took up the task and wrote a history of Rome in Greek, not Latin. |

| But a Hannibal is not possible without an army, and a steady-handed Fabius was the need of the times. |
