English term or phrase: bloody nose
Saudações!

Alguém conhece a expressão acima? Aparece em um livro que fala sobre a Batalha de Canas. O subtítulo é "A bloody nose for Rome". Deve ser algo sobre a desvantagem que Roma teve nessa batalha.

Obrigado.

Explanation:
Sugestoes:
Roma é atingida
Um golpe para Roma
Uma derrota para Roma

Pode ser derrota ou golpe parcial e temporária(o) ou total, vai depender da história contada. Mas o sentido do "nariz sangrando" é sempre de um tipo de golpe que atinge o oponente e o baqueia de alguma forma, talvez momentaneamente.

Um abraço.
