Etruscis in urbem ponte sublicio inrumpentibus Horatius Cocles extremam eius partem occupauit totumque hostium agmen, donec post tergum suum pons abrumperetur, infatigabili pugna sustinuit atque, ut patriam periculo inminenti liberatam uidit, armatus se in Tiberim misit. cuius fortitudinem dii immortales admirati incolumitatem sinceram ei praestiterunt: nam neque altitudine deiectus quassatusue nec pondere armorum pressus nec ullo uerticis circuitu actus, ne telis quidem, quae undique congerebantur, laesus tutum natandi euentum habuit. unus itaque tot ciuium, tot hostium in se oculos conuertit, stupentis illos admiratione, hos inter laetitiam et metum haesitantis, unusque duos acerrima pugna consertos exercitus, alterum repellendo, alterum propugnando distraxit. denique unus urbi nostrae tantum scuto suo quantum Tiberis alueo munimenti attulit. quapropter discedentes Etrusci dicere potuerunt: Romanos uicimus, ab Horatio uicti sumus.
