The Rights of War and Peace
War between Rome and Carthage, cited as an example distinguishing colourable pretext from real motive.
In the same manner, a dispute about Saguntum furnished the Carthaginians with colourable motives for the second Punic war, but, in reality, they could not brook the indignity of having consented to a treaty, which the Romans had extorted from them at an unfavourable moment;
For this reason, the Roman prisoners taken in the second Punic war, when sent into Greece, had not the right of postliminium there, the Greeks being entirely neutral, consequently they could not be released, till they were ransomed.
