Quae res saluti fuit;namque clangore eorum alarumque crepitu excitus Manlius,qui triennio ante consul fuerat,vir bello egregius,armis arreptis,simul ad arma ceteros ciens,vadit et,dum ceteri trepidant,Gallum,qui iam in summo consisterat,umbone ictum deturbat.
That was an helpful/useful thing ; indeed for their wings( army wings so auxiliary cavalry) noise and for the noise (of infantry's feets) Manlius, who was consul in the past 3 years, was summoned, a man very able in war,after he took weapons, while he exortated other to fight , passed through the river and,while other wavered, hit a Gaul,who was standing yet on the top with the boss of the shield(umbo).
