He had now fled a considerable distance from the place where they had fought, when, looking behind, he perceives them pursuing him at great intervals from each other; and that one of them was not far from him.

On him he turned round with great fury.

And whilst the Alban army shouts out to the Curiatii to succour their brother, Horatius, victorious in having slain his antagonist, was now proceeding to a second attack.

Then the Romans encourage their champion with a shout such as is usually (given) by persons cheering in consequence of unexpected success: he also hastens to put an end to the combat.
Wherefore before the other, who was not far off, could come up he despatches the second Curiatius also.

And now, the combat being brought to an equality of numbers, one on each side remained, but they were equal neither in hope nor in strength.
