Fimbria watched his opportunity, and when Flaccus had sailed for Chalcedon he first took the fasces away from Thermus, whom Flaccus had left as his prtor, as though the army had conferred the command upon himself, and when Flaccus returned soon afterward and was angry with him, Fimbria compelled him to fly.
Fimbria, when he heard this, congratulated them on being already friends of the Roman people, and ordered them to admit him within their walls because he also was a Roman.
Fimbria was disappointed at the outset that he was not deemed worthy of an interview, although it had been given to the enemy.

 Theodor Mommsen History of Rome - The Revolution Page 115
The soul of it was one of the chief officers of the army, a man whose name had become a proverb in Rome for a true mob-orator, Gaius Flavius Fimbria, who, after having differed with his commander-in-chief, transferred the demagogic practices which he had begun in the Forum to the camp.
Flaccus was deposed by the army and soon afterwards put to death at Nicomedia, not far from Chalcedon; Fimbria was installed by decree of the soldiers in his stead.
He had the choice of applying to Sulla or to Fimbria; he caused negotiations to be instituted with both, yet it seems from the first to have been his design to come to terms with Sulla, who, at least from the king's point of view, seemed decidedly superior to his rival.

Gaius Flavius Fimbria, a highly efficient, if treacherous, officer had now taken command of them, having secured, in the course of a mutiny, the murder of the commanding officer originally appointed.
To be fair to Fimbria, he would have succeeded in capturing the Pontic king, if Lucius Licinius Lucullus, Sulla's trusted officer, who had by now assembled a fleet, had not deliberately permitted Mithridates to escape.
Fimbria's men, dressed for fatigue duties, soon came over and helped with the digging; Fimbria, accurately assessing the situation, committed suicide.

NAMES OF SLAVES - Officially slaves did not have their own names; but used their owner's praenomen with the suffix "por" from "puer" or boy.
For example, Gallipor, adopted from owner's praenomen of Gallio, Cassipor / Cassius, Flavipor / Flavius, Marcipor / Marcus, etc. Later it became fashionable to give them Greek names, often followed by a form of the owner's name.
A freed slave generally assumed his former master's praenomen and nomen, with his original or personal name as a cognomen, but some chose their own praenomen.
