  Livy's History of Rome
Fulvius, a praetor, on the same ground two years before, and as the names were the same, so the result of the fight would be the same.
Fulvius had moved his men out of the houses in Capua, partly through fear lest his army should demoralised by the attractions of the city, as Hannibal's had been, and partly that there might be houses to go with the land which was being let.
Fulvius was accordingly nominated Dictator by the consul M. Claudius, and under the same resolution of the plebs P. Licinius Crassus, the Pontifex Maximus, was named by Q. Fulvius as his Master of the Horse.

Fulvius too had been delayed at the Volturnus, owing to Hannibal having burnt his boats, and he had considerable difficulty in procuring rafts for the transport of his troops, owing to the lack of timber.
Fulvius, on the other hand, declared that the very last thing they ought to do was to harass their faithful allies by vague charges and put them at the mercy of informers who were perfectly indifferent as to what they said or what they did.
Fulvius, determined to forestall any such obstacle to his designs, dismissed the council and ordered the military tribunes and the officers of the allies to select 2000 horsemen and warn them to be in readiness by the time the third watch was sounded.

Fulvius, when the people were gathered together in a full body, by the advice of Caius sent his youngest son into the market-place, with a herald's rod in his hand.
Fulvius fled into an obscure bathing-house; but shortly after being discovered, he and his eldest son were slain together.
The bodies of these two persons, as well as of the rest who were slain, to the number of three thousand men, were all thrown into the river; their goods were confiscated, and their widows forbidden to put themselves into mourning.

Its first step is to disentangle Ennius’ poem from the traditions of the so-called carmina convivalia and what the elder Cato may or may not have said about the status of poets at Rome.
Discussion centers on the passage at Tusculans 1.3 where Cicero associates Ennius’ poem with the archaic carmina, with Cato’s distaste for Fulvius Nobilior’s patronage of Ennius, and with the claim that ‘poeticae artis honos non erat’.
Yet the Annales originally ended with Fulvius’ triumph of 187 and his renovation of the Aedes Herculis Musarum with Aetolian spoils.

 Handbook of Texas Online: CORAL SNAKE
fulvius is so secretive and nonaggressive toward human beings that only those who handle the snake are often bitten.
The rigid fangs, which are longitudinally grooved pegs rather than hollow hypodermic tubes, are less than one-eighth inch in length and are unlikely to penetrate shoes or even most clothing, although corals can pierce a pinch of skin anywhere on the body.
fulvius has an extended reproductive season, perhaps because of its small home range; because of the low sensory perception in males, which sometimes makes it difficult for them to find a mate; and because the larger of a pair of introduced corals, usually the female, sometimes tries to eat its prospective mate.

 Ennius at the Banquet
What Cicero implies in the first century is not what Cato meant in the second: a central difficulty in understanding early Roman literary history lies in compensating for the late Republican bias of our main sources.
His scorn was therefore not for the poem but for the praetexta performed at the controversial games connected with Fulvius’ triumph in 187 (Manuwald 2001).
The original ending in book 15, which climaxed with Fulvius’ victory in Aetolia and his dedication of the redeveloped Aedes Herculis Musarum, certainly sounds like panegyric of a potentially partisan kind, but the extension of the poem with three more books demands attention.

The first battle he describes took place in 212 BC and hardly deserves the name "battle." According to Livy, a Praetor named Gnaeus Fulvius was besieging the town.
In the first battle, Roman discipline was so lax that, according to Livy, the Romans began to flee almost as soon as Hannibal's army raised its battle cry.
In response to this, and the news of Marcellus' capture of Salapia (a coastal town on the Adriatic) Hannibal, leaving his baggage behind, force marched an army to attack Fulvius.

They decreed that there should be two in Rome for the administration of justice; two outside Italy, namely Sicily and Sardinia; two in Italy itself, namely Tarentum and Gaul; and the praetors were ordered to ballot at once for these before they took office.
Now, at all events, seeing that the war in Aetolia was at an end, Asia taken from Antiochus, and the Gauls subjugated, either consuls ought to be sent to command consular armies, or the legions brought home and restored to the republic.
After listening to this speech the senate adhered to their decision that Liguria should be the province of both consuls, and Manlius and Fulvius were to resign their provinces, bring their armies away and return to Rome.
