Flaminius

1.

Gaius, consul for the first time in B.C. 223, when he gained a victory over the Insubrian Gauls; and censor in 220, when he executed two great works which bore his name—viz., the Circus Flaminius and the Via Flaminia. In his second consulship (217 B.C.) he was defeated and slain by Hannibal, at the battle of the Lake Trasimenus (Livy, xxi. 57; 63; id. xxii., etc.; Polyb. ii. 32, etc.).

2.

Gaius, a son of the preceding, was curule aedile in B.C. 196, when he distributed great quantities of grain among the people at a nominal price, this grain having been given him by the Sicilians as a memorial of gratitude to his father, who had governed them with much integrity. He was praetor in 193 and consul in 185, when he defeated the Ligurians.
