Quintus Fulvius Flaccus (consul 179 BCE)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quintus Fulvius Flaccus is first noticed as curule aedile in 184 BC, then as praetor in Spain campaigning against the Celtiberians in 182-180 BC. As consul in 179 BC he fought the Ligurians. He was censor in 174 BC, and in 173 BC built a temple to Fortuna Equestris by taking marble from a temple of Juno Lacinia in Bruttium or so we are told in the works of Livy . He was reported to have gone insane the following year and committed suicide. The Via Fulvia is doubtfully attributed to him.
