Text Translation
Amiterni puer tribus pedibus, una manu natus. Romae et circa fulmine pleraque icta. Caere sanguinis rivi terra fluxerunt et nocte caelum ac terra ardere visum. Frusinone aurum sacrum mures adroserunt. Lanuvii inter horam tertiam et quintam duo discolores circuli solem cinxerunt rubente alter, alter candida linea. stella arsit per dies triginta duos. * * et cum Carthago obsideretur, in captivos Romanorum per Hasdrubalem barbaro more saevitum, mox Carthago per Aemilianum diruta. At Amiternum a boy with three feet and one hand was born. At Rome and around many places were struck by lightning. At Caere the land flowed with a river of blood and at night the sky and earth seemed to be on fire. At Frusino mice gnawed the sacred gold. At Lanuvium between the third and fifth hour two variegated halos encircled the sun, the one with a red line, the other with a white one. A star blazed for thirty two days. * * and when Carthage was besieged, because of Hasdrubal there was cruelty inflicted on the Roman captives according to barbarian custom, then Carthage was razed by Aemilianus.
