Career

  • Praetor before 125 Sicilia, Sicilia? (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Strabo quotes Posidonius' personal remembrance of the formation of islands in the Lipari group by volcanic action at a time when a "T. Flaminius" was governor of Sicily. Pliny, without mentioning names, places such an event in the third year of the 163rd Olympiad (126-125 B.C.; cf. Jerome, Chr. ad ann. 126, p. 146 Helm), about the time when T. Quinctius Flamininus must have been Praetor. Moreover the praenomen T. is more usual in the Gens Quinctia, and "T. Flaminius" is otherwise unknown (RE no. 5). It is therefore probable that the text of Strabo should be emended to read {Gr}. Another such eruption occurred in 90 or 89 B.C. (Plin. NH 2.238). See 89, Praetors. (Broughton MRR I)
    • The latest possible dates for their praetorships under the Lex Villia. On Flamininus, see Strabo 6.2.11; cf. Plin. NH 2.203; Obseq. 29. (Broughton MRR I)
    • p. 741, footnote 158 (Brennan 2000)
  • Consul 123 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The filiation of Metellus is given by Act. Tr. for 121; but in the case of Flamininus, T. f. depends on CIL 1(2).2.655-657, which are best referred to the age of the Gracchi on the basis both of the forms of the letters and the known road building of the time. T. n., though probable, is not attested. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Cic. Dom. 136; Brut. 81, 259; Fast. Min. in CIL 1 .1, p. 60- ILS 9338; Fast. Ant., Degrassi 162f. (T. Qu[- - - -]); Eutrop. 4.21; Chr. 354 (Metello et Appelate); Fast. Hyd. (Metello et Flaminino), so also Chr. Pasc.; Oros. 5.12.1 (L. Caelio Metello, Q. Titio Flaminino); Cassiod.; on Metellus, Cic. Fin. 5.82; Val. Max. 7.1.1; Vell. 1.11.7; Plin. NH 7.142; Plut. Fort. Rom. 4, 318c; and on Flamininus, CIL 1(2).2.655-657.{513} See Degrassi 126, 472f. Metellus received command against the piratical inhabitants of the Balearic islands (Liv. Per. 60; Strabo 3.5.1; Flor. 1.43; Oros. 5.13.1). (Broughton MRR I)
    • This passage more probably refers to this Caesar than to the Consul of 91, for the Drusus whose decision is compared with his was Pr. Urbanus in 115 (see RE no. 17). (Broughton MRR I)
