Civil Discord

Publilius Syrus 680 (tr. J. Wight Duff and Arnold M. Duff):
Discord mid citizens is the foeman's chance.

Seditio civium hostium est occasio.
Horace, Odes 3.6.13-14 (tr. Niall Rudd):
Occupied with internecine feuds, the capital has been almost destroyed by the Ethiopian and the Dacian.

paene occupatam seditionibus
delevit urbem Dacus et Aethiops.
