battle of Lake Trasimene

kind: battle · 217 BCE — the editor’s frame · 7 mentions across 4 episodes of the record — counted by the house’s first pass receipt — the deed shelf, first pass receipt — the witness index

Hannibal's ambush of Flaminius at the lake, June 217 BCE. The label's spelling follows the served translation; the conventional modern form is Trasimene.

Where the accounts part — the record’s own argument; the witnesses below carry the receipts

Polybius gives the fog-bound trap as a lesson in generalship; Plutarch's Fabius gives the calamity that justified the delayer — and adds an earthquake so violent it overthrew cities, which 'no one of the combatants noticed at all' and which the served Polybius does not record. Same lake, two morals, and a portent in only one ledger.
