Titus Quinctius Flamininus (229-174 BCE) was a consul and military commander of the Roman Republic during the Second Macedonian War, who decisively defeated Philip V of Macedon (r. 221-179 BCE) at the Battle of Cynoscephalae in 197 BCE and negotiated the Peace of Flamininus, which established Roman control in Greece. #History #MacedonianWars #PhilipV #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/Titus_Quinctius_Flamininus/
