Marcus Livius, who was governor of Tarentum when it was betrayed to Hannibal, and retired into the citadel which he kept until the town was retaken, was annoyed by these honours and distinctions and on one occasion openly declared in the senate that by his resistance more than by any action of Fabius, Tarentum had been recovered.

Fabius laughingly replied ‘you say very true, for if Marcus Livius had not lost Tarentum, Fabius Maximus would not have recovered it.’
