Speciosa illa quoque Romana fides. ingenti Poenorum classe circa Siciliam deuicta duces eius fractis animis consilia petendae pacis agitabant. quorum Hamilcar ire se ad consules negabat audere, ne eodem modo catenae sibi inicerentur, quo ab ipsis Cornelio Asinae consuli fuerant iniectae. Hanno autem, certior Romani animi aestimator, nihil tale timendum ratus maxima cum fiducia ad conloquium eorum tetendit. apud quos cum de fine belli ageret, et tribunus militum ei dixisset posse illi merito euenire quod Cornelio accidisset, uterque consul tribuno tacere iusso 'isto te' inquit 'metu, Hanno, fides ciuitatis nostrae liberat'. claros illos fecerat tantum hostium ducem uincire potuisse, sed multo clariores fecit noluisse.
