Read Passage 3. Answer Question 19. Passage 3 Gracchus takes advantage of the river running through the city to bring food to the besieged people. Finally, however, Hannibal is informed about Gracchus’ plan and the food supplies immediately stop. ‘frumentum in urbem statim inferre debeo,’ Gracchus sibi dixit. ‘sed Carthaginienses, si me cibum portantem videbunt, irati erunt et castra Romana oppugnabunt.’ timens quoque ne propter contumaciam ab imperatore puniretur, diu nesciebat quid facere deberet. tandem consilium callidum cepit. frumentum ex agris abstulit et in dolia posuit. tum monuit magistratum Casilini ut ea nocte ad flumen iret doliaque quaereret. ibi magistratus 5 dolia, quae flumen portabat, vidit et sustulit. postridie tamen unus e Carthaginiensibus conspexit quinque alia dolia quae flumine ferebantur. Hannibal, cum hoc audivisset, suos iussit flumen semper custodire. hoc modo nemo poterat auxilium dare eis qui in urbe manebant.
