Flavus, C. Deci'mius a tribune of the soldiers, B. C. 209. He rescued M. Claudius Marcellus from defeat by repulsing a charge of Hannibal's elephants. (Liv. 27.14.) Flavus was praetor urbanus, B. C. 184, and died in his year of office. (Liv. 39.32, 38, 39.) [W.B.D]

Li'cinus, Po'rcius 2. L. Porcius Licinus, the son of the preceding, was praetor B. C. 193, and received Sardinia as his province. He sued unsuccessfully for the consulship at first, but at length obtained it, in B. C. 184; and in conjunction with his colleague, P. Claudius Pulcher, carried on the war against the Ligurians. (Liv. 34.54, 55, 39.32, 33, 45, 40.34; Cic. Brut. 15.)

accuracy, and we know of no one else of the same name at this time. He was tribune of the plebs B. C. 210, curule aedile B. C. 197, and in the same year one of the triumviri for establishing colonies at Puteoli, Buxentum, and various other places in Italy; praetor B. C. 196, with Sardinia as his province, which was continued to him another year; and consul B. C. 194 with P. Cornelius Scipio Africanus. In his consulship he assisted as triumvir in founding the colonies which had been determined upon in B. C. 197, and he fought against the Boii with doubtful success. In the year after his consulship, B. C. 193, he served as legate to the consul L. Cornelius Merula, in his campaign against the Boii, and in B. C. 191 he served as legate to the consul M'. Acilius Glabrio, in his campaign against Antiochus in Greece. In B. C. 184 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the censorship. (Liv. 31.20, 32.27, 29, 33.24, 26, 43, 34.42, 45, 46, 47, 35.5, 36.22, 39.40.) He died B. C. 174. (Liv. 41.21.)

s, who had accompanied them from Ptolemy's court, could specify which of the several treaties made in former times with Egypt had now been renewed; and Lycortas accordingly incurred much blame and furnished a triumph to the party of Aristaenus. (Pol. 23.1, 7, 9.) In the same year (185), Philopoemen and Lycortas defended successfully, at Argos, the treatment of the Lacedaemonians by the Achaeans, which had been censured by Caecilius Metellus; and, when Appius Claudius was sent from Rome, in B. C. 184, to settle the question, Lycortas, now general of the league, again contended that the Achaeans were justified in the mode in which they had dealt with Lacedaemon: but he did not carry his point with Appius. (Pol. 22.23, 23.1, 7, 10, 11, 12, 24.4; Liv. 39.33, 35-37, 48; Plut. Phil. 16, 17; Paus. 7.9.) In B. C. 183, when Deinocrates and his party had withdrawn Messenia from the league, Lycortas was sent against them by the aged Philopoemen, but was unable to force his way through the passes
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Mae'nius (search)
Mae'nius 11. MAENIUS, a contemporary of Lucilius, was a great spendthrift, who squandered all his property and afterwards supported himself by playing the buffoon. He possessed a house in the forum, which Cato in his censorship (B. C. 184 ) purchased of him, for the purpose of building the basilica Porcia. Some of the ancient scholiasts ridiculously relate, that when Maenius sold his house, he reserved for himself one column, the Columna Maenia, from which he built a balcony, that he might thence witness the games. The true origin of the Columna Maenia, and of the balconies called Maeniana, has been explained above. [See No. 6.] (Hor. Sat. 1.1. 101, 1.3. 21, Epist. 1.15. 26, &c.; Liv. 39.44; Porphyr. ad Hor. Sat. 1.3. 21; Pseudo-Ascon. in Cic. Divin. in Caecil. p. 121, ed. Or.; Becker, Handbuch der Römisch. Alterth. vol. i. p. 300.

Matho, Q. Nae'vius praetor B. C. 184, received the province of Sardinia, and also the commission to inquire into all cases of poisoning. He was engaged in this investigation for four months before he set out for his province, prosecuting his inquiries in the various municipia and conciliabula in Italy; and if we may believe Valerius Antias, he condemned two thousand persons in this time. (Liv. 39.32, 38, 41.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Nae'vius (search)
Nae'vius 4. M. Naevius, tribune of the plebs, B. C. 184, entered upon his office in B. C. 185, in which year, at the instigation of Cato the censor, he accused Scipio Africanus the elder of having been bribed by Antiochus to allow that monarch to come off too leniently. Scipio's speech in his defence was extant in the time of A. Gellius, who quotes a striking passage from it; but there was some dispute whether Naevius was the accuser of Scipio; some authorities spoke of the Petilii as the parties who brought the charge. (Liv. 38.56, 39.52; Gel. 4.18; Aur. Vict. de Vir. Ill. 49.) The short quotation which Cicero (Cic. de Orat. 2.61) makes from a speech of Scipio against Naevius must have been delivered upon another occasion, since Livy (38.56) tells us that the speech which Scipio delivered in his defence on the occasion referred to, did not contain the name of the accuser. (Meyer, Orator. Roman. Fragm. p. 6, &c., 2d ed.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Nobi'lior (search)
son of the great M. Fulvius whose name occurs so often in that part of the historian's writings. A consideration of dates will make it almost certain that this Q. Fulvius M. f. must be the same as the consul of B. C. 153; for supposing him to have been sixteen when he was enrolled in the college of the epulones, he would have been forty-three when he was elected consul, the age at which a citizen could first obtain this honour. We therefore conclude that the Q. Nobilior who was triumvir in B. C. 184 must be a different person from the consul of 153. The consuls of the year B. C. 153 entered upon their office on the kalends of January, whereas up to this time the ides of March had been the day on which they took possession of their dignity. The formidable revolt of the Celtiberians is given as the reason of this alteration; but whatever may have been the cause, the kalends of January continued from this time forth to be the first day of the consular year.

Nobi'lior 5. M. Fulvius Nobilior, tribune of the soldiers, B. C. 180, and described as a brother of Q. Fulvius, was probably brother of the Quintus who was triumvir coloniae deducendae in B. C. 184. See the beginning of No. 4. (Liv. 40.41.)
