<head>Hannibal Marches Through Iapygia</head>Though Hannibal shifted his quarters from time to time for short distances in one direction or another, he remained in the neighbourhood of the Adriatic; and by bathing his horses with old wine, of which he had a great store, cured them of the scab and got them into condition again. By a similar treatment he cured his men of their wounds, and got the others into a sound state of health and spirits for the service before them. After traversing with fire and sword the territories of Praetutia,<note anchored="yes" place="unspecified" id="note142">The<foreign lang="la">ager Praetutianus</foreign>was the southern district of Picenum (<bibl n="Liv. 22.9" default="NO" valid="yes">Livy, 22, 9</bibl>;<bibl n="Liv. 27.43" default="NO" valid="yes">27, 43</bibl>).

This district is divided among three peoples, each with a district name, Daunii [Peucetii], and Messapii.
