3 The Romans have also captured the gold and silver mines in Spain.
4 In fact, by patient and careful planning, they have conquered all of Spain, even though it is a great distance from Rome.The Romans have crushed the kings of every nation that attacked them, and they have forced the kings who survived to pay taxes to them each year.
5 The Roman armies have also destroyed other enemies, including kings Perseus and Philip of Macedonia
6 and King Antiochus the Great of Asia.The Romans even crushed the forces of King Antiochus when he attacked with chariots, cavalry, 120 elephants, and a huge army.
7 They took him alive and ordered him and his descendants to give them a lot of money and many hostages. Antiochus also had to hand over to them
8 the countries of India, Media, and Lydia, as well as some of the best areas he controlled. Then the Romans gave all this territory to King Eumenes.
9-10 When the Romans found out that the Greeks were plotting against them, they sent a general to attack the Greeks. His army killed and wounded many of them and then captured their families and took everything of value. After the Romans had conquered Greece, they tore down its fortresses, and they still rule that country today.
