Quotes:Acilius Glabrio

Zirkoff, Boris

Acilius Glabrio. Roman tribune of the plebs, 201 b.c., when he opposed the claim of Cn. Corn. Lentulus, one of the consuls of that year, to the province of Africa, which a unanimous vote of the tribes had already decreed to P. Scipio Africanus I. The following years, Glabrio was appointed commissioner of sacred rites (decemvir sacrorurn). He was praetor in 196 b.c. and praetor peregrinus the next year. He became consul in 191 b.c., the year Rome declared war against Antiochus the Great, king of Syria. In the allotment of the provinces, Greece, the seat of war, fell to Glabrio. He was eminently successful in this campaign, and won a decisive victory over the armies of Antiochus at Thermopylae.
