Lucius Quinctius Flamininus, Consul 192 BCE

The younger brother of the famous Titus Flamininus, Lucius Flamininus served as second-in-command during the final two years of the Second Macedonian War. Later, as Consul he conducted a successful campaign to pacify Cisalpine Gaul. He is perhaps best remembered, however, for being expelled from the Senate in 184 BCE when he was the most prominent victim of Cato's legendary censorship. Just as worthy of song was his restoration to honor in the wake of his humiliation.
