His effective support of this measure vastly increased the popularity of Flaminius with his own order, and secured his second election as consul in the following year (217), shortly after the defeat of T. Sempronius Longus at the Trebia.
The testimony of Livy (xxi., xxii.) and Polybius (ii., iii.) - no friendly critics - shows that Flaminius was a man of ability, energy and probity.
As a general he was headstrong and selfsufficient and seems to have owed his victories chiefly to personal boldness favoured by good fortune.

Flaminius, of course, was practiced and skillful in what he was doing, and Phyllis was not difficult to catch and tangle in his well-woven nets of logic and supposed fact.

Flaminius also sent his light troops and cavalry forward but, seeing them hard pressed, led one legion and his allies forward on the left to relieve them, whilst holding back the other legion and the elephants on the right (see Figure 2).

They supposed that the whole force of the enemy was there, not dreaming of the presence of the strong detachments which were hid on the slopes of [165] the mountains above them, and were looking down upon them at that very moment from behind rocks and bushes.

In point of fact, some of his contemporaries were skeptical, and rightly so; it would take the discovery of the Rosetta Stone centuries later to truly unlock the meanings of the hieroglyphs.
