Career

  • Tribunus Militum 208 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Served under the Consul Marcellus (Plut. Flam. 1; see Münzer, APF 117). (Broughton MRR I)
  • Quaestor? c. 206 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Elected to the consulship for 198 ex quaestura (Liv. 32.7.8-12). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Ex quaestura in this passage may indicate that Flamininus was Quaestor in 199 and proceeded immediately to the consulship; cf. ex aedilitate in Liv. 31.4.7, though the more usual expression for "when aedile" is qui tum aedilis erat, cf. Liv. 23.24.3; 24.9.4, and 43.6; 29.38.5; 32.7.13, and 27.7. Such phrases, however, can be used when some time elapses between the two offices: cf. Liv. 27.6.17, on Licinius Crassus, who was almost certainly Curule Aedile in 212, and in 210 ex aedilitate gradum ad censuram fecit; and Cic. Phil. 11.11, on Julius Caesar Strabo, who ex aedilitate (90 B.C.) consulatum petit in 88 B.C. Accordingly, Flamininus may have been Quaestor between 203, when he ceased to be in command pro praetore at Tarentum, and 199. He is listed here under the latest possible date. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Cos. 198. Quaestor. In Livy 32.7.9, he is described as a candidate for the consulship ex quaestura, but there is no record of the date (see MRR 1.329, note 2). Badian would place it after his military tribunate under the consul Marcellus in 208 (MRR 1.293) and before he was placed in command at Tarentum in 205 with imperium pro praetore (1.308). See Badian, JRS 61, 1961, 109, probably in 206. Proconsul, Greece and Macedonia, 197194. In MRR 1.336-337, refer to the gold coinage in Greece, Crawford, RRC 1.544, no. 548, 196 B.C. He was also honored by Phanoteus of Phocis (G. Klaffenbach, Chiron 1, 1971, 167-168; AEpig. 1972, 571).[179x] (Broughton MRR III)

    • Plutarch confuses this commission with that for Narnia (see 199) and Cosa (refused in 199, Livy 32.2.7, but granted in 197-6, 33.24.8-9); and names Flaminius as its head (Flam. 1.4). (Broughton MRR I)
