Flamininus

7. T. Quintius Flamininus was consul in B. C. 150, with M'. Acilius Balbus. Cicero places his dialogue "Cato," or " De Senectute," in this year, when Cato was 84 years old. In the consulship of T. Flamininus a temple of Pietas was erected, on the spot of a prison in which a daughter had giveh a remarkable example of piety towards her mother. The same site was subsequently occupied by the theatre of Marcellus. (Cic. de Senect. 5, ad Att. 12.5; Plin. Nat. 7.36.)
