| Antiquities | 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) 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. (references) | ||
