en freemen in his province, and of having in his petition for the triumph invented many false battles, and exaggerated the number of the enemy that had been slain (Liv. 34.54, 55, 35.3, 11, 20, 21, 36.38, 38.46; Gel. 10.3, 13.24; Meyer, Oratorum Romanorum Fragmenta, pp. 40-44, 2d ed. ). There was also an oration of Cato intitled De suis Virtutibus contra Thermum, which is cited by Festus (pp. 182, 234), and other grammarians. Meyer (Ibid. p. 45, foll.) supposes that Cato accused Thermus in B. C. 189, and that this oration was spoken in this year; but this is improbable, as we know that Thermus served under Scipio Asiaticus in this year in the war against Antiochus. He and his brother Lucius were sent by Scipio to receive the oath of Antiochus to the treaty which was concluded at the end of the war. In the course of the same year he was nominated by the senate one of the ten commissioners to settle the affairs of Asia. He was killed in the following year, B. C. 188, while fighting unde

Thermus, Minu'cius 2. L. Minucius Thermus, brother of the preceding, served under Scipio Asiaticus, and along with his brother received the oath of Antiochus to the treaty concluded in B. C. 189. In B. C. 178 he served as legatus under the consul A. Manlius Vulso, in Istria. (Plb. 22.26; Liv. 41.8.)

Tu'bero, Ae'lius 1. P. Aelius Tubero, was elected plebeian aedile B. C. 202, but resigned his office, together with his colleague L. Laetorius, because there had been some fault in the auspices at their election. He was praetor the following year, B. C. 201, when he obtained Sicily as his province. In B. C. 189 he was one of the tell commissioners sent into Asia after the conquest of Antiochus; and in B. C. 177 he was again elected praetor. (Liv. 30.39, 40, 37.55, 41.8.)

Tudita'nus 5. M. Sempronius Tuditanus, M. F. C. N., tribune of the plebs B. C. 193, proposed and carried a plebiscitium, which enacted that the law about money lent should be the same for the Socii and the Latini as for the Roman citizens. (Dict. of Antiq. s. v. Lex Sempronia de Fenore.) He was praetor B. C. 189, when he obtained Sicily as his province, and consul B. C. 185 with Ap. Claudius Pulcher. In his consulship he carried on war in Liguria, and defeated the Apuani, while his colleague was equally successful against the Ingauni. Tuditanus was an unsuccessful candidate for the consulship in B. C. 184, but was elected one of the pontifices in the following year. He was carried off by the great pestilence which devastated Rome in B. C. 174. (Liv. 35.7, 37.47, 50, 39.23. 32, 40, 46, 41.21.)

Varro, Tere'ntius 2. A TERENTIUS VARRO, served in Greece in B. C. 189, and was elected praetor in B. C. 184, when he obtained Nearer Spain as his province. He carried on the war with success, defeated the Celtiberi in several battles, and on his return to Rome in B. C. 182, received the honour of an ovation, which is recorded in the Triumphal Fasti. In B. C. 172, Varro was sent on an embassy to the Illyrian king Gentius, and in B. C. 167 was one of the ten commissioners appointed to settle the affairs of Macedonia, in conjunction with Aemilius Paulus after the conquest of Perseus. (Liv. 37.48, 49, 39.32, 38, 41, 56, 40.2, 16.)

with Sicily as his province B. C. 195, and one of the triumvirs for founding a Latin colony in the territory of Thurii in B. C. 193, in which year he was an unsuccessful candidate for the consulship. (Liv. 33.25, 42, 43, 34.53, 35.9, 10.) In B. C. 189 Cn. Manlius Vulso was consul with M. Fulvius Nobilior. He was sent into Asia in order to conclude the peace, which his successor Scipio Asiaticus had made with Antiochus, and to arrange the affairs of Asia. He arrived at Ephesus in the spring of B. C. 189, and as he was anxious to obtain both glory and booty he resolved to attack the Gallograeci or Galatians in Asia Minor without waiting for any formal instructions from the senate. He carried on the war with success against them, conquered in battle the three chief tribes into which they were divided, called the Tolistoboii, Tectosagi and Trocmi, and compelled them to submit unconditionally to the Roman power. After bringing this war to an end by the middle of the autumn, he led his

Vulso 9. L. Manlius Vulso, the brother of No. 8, was praetor B. C. 197 with Sicily as his province, and served under his brother in Asia in B. C. 189 and 188. (Liv. 32.27, 28, 38.20; Plb. 22.25, 26.)
