• Cato the Elder is elected censor along with Lucius Valerius Flaccus, and initiates a number of unpopular reforms and crackdowns. He expels seven members of the Senate; one of them, a Manilius, for having "embraced his wife" during the day in the presence of their daughter (David Matz notes that the Greek verb periplakenai may have meant a more intimate sort of activity).
• Philopoemen was captured and executed by Messene rebels.
