First Sentence

<Had it not been for his sense of patriotic duty, X> would not have delivered <our country> from invasion; nor would Gaius Duilius, Aulus Atilius, and Lucius Metellus have rescued it from the Carthaginian menace; the two Scipios would not have extinguished with their blood the spreading conflagration of the second Punic war; later, when it had broken out with greater fury, Quintus Maximus would not have sapped its strength; Marcus Metellus would not have beaten it down; and Publius Africanus would not have dragged it back from the gates of this city and penned it up within the enemy's walls.
