Document Details : Title: The Origins of the Rivalry between Philopoemen and Flamininus Author(s): RAEYMAEKERS, J. Journal: Ancient Society Volume: 27 Date: 1996 Pages: 259-276 DOI: 10.2143/AS.27.0.632405 Abstract : According to Plutarch’s life of Philopoemen of Megalopolis, the ambitious T. Quinctius Flamininus showed resentment at the love and honour Philopoemen received from the Greeks in consequence of his military successes against Nabis in 1921. As a Roman consul, he considered himself more worthy of Achaean admiration than an Arcadian, and he believed that in benefactions he surpassed him not just a little, having freed those parts of Greece that had been dominated by Philip and the Macedonians by just a single proclamation. |
