These troops were more used to mountains, and better suited to skirmishing amid rocks and crags, and being more agile and more lightly armed, they had no difficulty — thanks to the nature of the fighting — in getting the better of an enemy whose heavy armour and stationary tactics were adapted to level ground.59 BCE – 17 CE, Titus Livius, 22 18 - adjectivecalm, tranquil, of an orator
C. deinde Piso statarius et sermonis plenus orator, minime ille quidem tardus in excogitando, verum tamen voltu et simulatione multo etiam acutior quam erat videbatur.
