cum adversus Hannibalem Claudium Neronem et Livium Salinatorem consules mitteret, eosque ut virtutibus pares ita inimicitiis acerrime inter se dissidentes videret, summo studio in gratiam reduxit, ne propter privatas dissensiones rem publicam parumutiliter administrarent, quia consimili imperio nisi concordia inest, maior aliena opera interpellandi quam sua edendi cupiditas nascitur.
It sent Consuls Claudius Nero and Livius Salinator against Hannibal, but saw that while equal in their abilities they were enemies at bitter feud with one another. It therefore made a great point of reconciling them, lest because of their private quarrel they manage public affairs to little advantage; for unless there is harmony between holders of similar authority, each becomes more concerned to interrupt the others operations than to carry out his own.
