A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Attalus (search)
e Romans sent an embassy to Asia to bring away the Idaean Mother from Pessinus in Phrygia. Attains received them graciously and assisted them in procuring the black stone which was the symbol of the goddess. (Liv. 29.10, 11.) At the general peace brought about in 204, Prusias and Attalus were included, the former as the ally of Philip, the latter as the ally of the Romans. (29.12.) On the breaking out of hostilities between Philip and the Rhodians, Attalus took part with the latter; and in B. C. 201, Philip invaded and ravaged his territories, but was unable to take the city of Pergamus. A sea-fight ensued, off Chios, between the fleet of Philip and the combined fleets of Attalus and the Rhodians, in which Philip was in fact defeated with considerable loss, though he found a pretext for claiming a victory, because Attalus, having incautiously pursued a Macedonian vessel too far, was compelled to abandon his own, and make his escape by land.

Cotta, Aure'lius 2. M. Aurelius Cotta, was plebian aedile in B. C. 216, and had in 212 the command of a detachment at Puteoli under the consul App. Claudius Pulcher. Nine years later, B. C. 203, he was appointed decemvir sacrorum, in the place of M. Pomponius Matho. The year after this he was sent as ambassador to Philip of Macedonia, and protected the Roman allies who had to suffer from the inroads of the Macedonians. After the conclusion of the war against Carthage, he urged the necessity of proceeding with energy against Philip. He died, in B. C. 201, as decemvir sacrorum, in which office he was succeeded by M'. Acilius Glabrio. (Liv. 23.30, 25.22, 29.38, 30.26, 42, 31.3, 5, 50.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Falto (search)
Falto 3. M. Valerius Falto, one of the envoys sent by the senate, B. C. 205, to Attalus I. king of Pergamus. Their mission was to fetch the Idaean mother to Italy, according to an injunction of the Sibylline Books. Falto was of quaestorian rank at this time, but the date of his quaestorian is not known. On the return of the envoys to Rome Falto was sent forward to announce the message of the Delphic oracle, which they had consulted on their journey, to the senate--" The best man in the state must welcome the goddess or her representative on her landing." (Liv. 29.11.) Falto was one of the curule aediles, B. C. 203, when a supply of Spanish grain enabled those magistrates to sell corn to the poor at a sesterce the bushel. (30.26.) Falto was praetor B. C. 201. His province was Bruttium, and two legions were allotted to him. (30.40, 41.) [W.B.D]

Flaccus, Fu'lvius 8. M. Fulvius Flaccus was one of the Decemviri Agro Samniti Appuloque metiendo dividendoque, who were appointed in B. C. 201. He was married to Sulpicia, a daughter of Paterculus. (Liv. 31.4; Solin. 7.)

Flaccus, Vale'rius 7. L. Valerius Flaccus, P. F. L. N., a brother of No. 6, was curule aedile in B. C. 201, and in the year following he was elected praetor, and received Sicily as his province. In B. C. 195 he was made pontifex, in the place of M. Cornelius Cethegus. In the same year he was invested with the consulship, together with M. Porcius Cato, and received Italy for his province. During the summer he carried on the war against the Boians, and defeated them ; 8000 of them were slain, and the rest dispersed in their villages. Flaccus afterwards spent his time on the banks of the Po, at Placentia and Cremona, being occupied in restoring what had been destroyed by war. He remained in the north of Italy also in the year B. C. 194, as proconsul, and in the neighbourhood of Milan lie fought with great success against the Gauls, Insubrians, and Boians, who had crossed the Po under their chief, Dorulacus: 10,000 enemies are said to have been killed. In B. C. 191, although a consular,

Flamini'nus 4. T. Quintius Flamininus. As he is said to have been about thirty-three years old in B. C. 196, he must have been born about B. C. 230. (Liv. 33.33.) He is called by Aurelius Victor (De Vir. Illustr. 51) a son of C. Flaminius, who fell in the battle on Lake Trasimenus; but this statement arises from a confusion of the Flaminia gens with the family of the Flaminini. [FLAMINIA GENS.] He was the brother of L. Quintius Flamininus [No. 3], and is first mentioned in history in B. C. 201, when he was appointed one of the ten commissioners to measure and distribute the public land in Samnium and Appulia among the veterans who had fought under P. Scipio in Africa, against the Carthaginians, and the year after he was one of the triunvirs appointed to complete the number of colonists at Venusia, which had been greatly reduced during the Hannibalian war. In B. C. 199 he was quaestor, and towards the expiration of his office he sued for the consulship. He was opposed by two tribunes

Fu'rius 4. M. Furius, defended M. Valerius in the senate from the charges which the Macedonian ambassadors brought against him, B. C. 201. (Liv. 30.42.) He seems to be the same as the M. Furius who in B. C. 200 served as legate under L. Furius [No. 5] in the war against the Gauls. (Liv. 31.21.)

Galba 3. C. Sulpicius Galba was elected pontifex in B. C. 201, in the place of T. Manlius Torquatus, but died as early as B. C. 198. (Liv. 30.39, 32.7.)

M'. Acilius Glabrio C. F. L.N., was tribune of the plebs in B. C. 201, when he opposed the claim of Cn. Corn. Lentulus, one of the consuls of that year, to the province of Africa, which a unanimous vote of the tribes had already decreed to P. Scipio Africanus I. (Liv. 30.40.) In the following year Glabrio was appointed commissioner of sacred rites (decemvir sacrorum) in the room of M. Aurelius Cotta, deceased (31.50). He was praetor in B. C. 196, having presided at the Ple beian Games in the Flaminian Circus; and from the fines for encroachment on the demesne lands he consecrated bronze statues to Ceres and her offspring Liber and Libera (33.25, comp. 3.55; Cic. de Nat. Deor. 2.24) at the end of 197. Glabrio was praetor peregrinus (Liv. 33.24, 26), and quelled an insurrection of the praedial slaves in Etruria, which was so formidable as to require the presence of one of the city legions. (Liv. 33.36.) In B. C. 193 he was an unsuccessful competitor for the consulship, which, however,
