The next moment a soldier's head appeared in the doorway, to be quickly withdrawn with the exclamation, "It is true here lies Apollinaris!" "One moment," said a second deep voice, and over the threshold stepped the legate of the legion, Quintus Flavius Nobilior, in all the panoply of war, and saluted the brothers.
Instances of such offerings are the hundred and fourteen golden crowns which were borne in the triumph of Titus Quinctius Flamininus, those of two hundred and twelve pounds' weight shown in the triumph of Manlius, and the great golden wreath of one hundred and fifty pounds which had been presented by the Ambraciots to Nobilior.
Yet the plundering of temples in this way became of more and more frequent occurrence. Titus Flamininus in particular and Marcus Fulvius Nobilior , two leading champions of Roman Hellenism, as well as Lucius Paullus , were the means of filling the public buildings of Rome with the masterpieces of the Greek chisel.
His fame must have been established before B.C. 189, for in that year Fulvius Nobilior took him into Aetolia to celebrate his deeds a proceeding which Cato strongly but ineffectually impugned. In 184 B.C., the Roman citizenship was conferred on him. He alluded to this with pride in his annals "Nos sumus Romani qui fuvimus ante Rudini."
The buckler of Nobilior, quickly and skillfully extended, received a blow which otherwise would have been fatal. 'Well done, Nobilior! cried the praetor, giving the first vent to the popular excitement. 'Bravely struck, my Berbix! answered Clodius from his seat. And the wild murmur, swelled by many a shout, echoed from side to side.
The centurion had just said farewell to the last of his cohort, when the prefect, with the legate Quintus Flavius Nobilior, who commanded the legion, and several other higher officers, appeared among them. Macrinus greeted them briefly, and, instead of having the tuba blown as usual and letting them fall into their ranks, he told them to gather close round him, the centurions in front.
No the crowd is separating. Eternal gods! It is she it is the woman who tended you!" "Dead?" asked the other. "She is lying on the ground with a spear in her bosom. Now the legate- yes, it is Quintus Flavius Nobilior bends over her and draws it out. Dead dead! and slain by a man of our cohort!"
To the northern province in the following year the senate sent considerable reinforcements and a new commander-in-chief in the place of the incapable Nobilior, the consul Marcus Claudius Marcellus, who had already, when praetor in 586, distinguished himself in Spain, and had since that time given proof of his talents as a general in two consulships.

But Cato used Ennius as soldier while Nobilior employed him as poet. It is difficult, however, to fix the date of this enactment. Some authorities place it after Cato's return from Spain. Livy 34, cc. 1-8. See Livy, 34, 18. i.e. he was legatus consularis. It was at the time a common thing for ex-consuls to take service under their successors. So Liv. 36, 17, 1, but Cic. Cat.
