Manius Acilius Glabrio (consul 91)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manius Acilius Glabrio was the name of a Roman consul in 91, conjointly with Trajan, who was afterwards emperor. As he was of great strength and activity, he was commanded by Domitian to descend into the arena and fight a huge lion. He slew the animal, and was greeted with so much applause, that he roused the jealousy of the emperor, who first banished, and then put him to death on some false pretext.^[1]
