Senator Vatinius, either you need more schooling in arithmetic, or you have misread the reported numbers. Consul Coruncanius now faces a total enemy force of 2058, in detachments of 1157, 142, and 759. He commands 1214 men. The difference is 844, not 2000 as you say. He is outnumbered by about 2 to 3, which is not that bad, especially since he outnumbers each piece of the enemy army.
