De hoc ideo mentionem fecimus, quod, Hamilcare occiso, ille exercitui praefuit resque magnas gessit et princeps largitione vetustos pervertit mores Karthaginiensium eiusdemque post mortem Hannibal ab exercitu accedit imperium.
I have spoken of Hasdrubal because, when Hamilcar was killed, he commanded the army and accomplished great things, but he was the first by gifts of money to undermine the old-time morals of the Carthaginians; it was after his death too that Hannibal succeeded to the chief command by choice of the army.
