Or perhaps the same taunts were used against the Romans day after day, untill the more impulsive consul jumped in for it? Then of course the writers of history would have damned Varro, by making it seem part of the Carthaginians clever plan, and writing the books to make the one who would was less inclined to fight except on his own terms seem to have been obvious to Hannibal?
