Titus therefore took upon himself the conduct of the army, and, having dismissed Publius, examined the ground.
Titus received them in the most obliging and courteous manner, but kept going gently on, questioning and inquiring of them, and sometimes entertaining them with narratives of his own, till his soldiers might a little recover from the weariness of their journey.
Titus, therefore, called upon his soldiers to play the part of valiant men, because they were now to act their parts upon the most illustrious theatre of the world, Greece, and to contend with the bravest antagonists.

 Plutarch's Life of Flamininus
Titus was, therefore, very desirous, and entreated his soldiers that they would pass through it as if it were their own, or as if a place trusted into their hands; and, indeed, they quickly perceived, by the event, what benefit they derived from this moderate and orderly conduct.
Titus, therefore, called upon his soldiers to play the part of valiant men, because they were now to act their parts upon the most illustrious theater of the world, Greece, and to contend with the bravest antagonists.
Titus, vexed and angry at this, made it his request to the senate, and at last prevailed in it, that the garrisons in these cities should be dismissed, that so the Greeks might be no longer debtors to him for a partial, but for an entire, favor.

 Plutarch • Life of Flamininus
Titus was therefore ambitious, and exhorted his soldiers accordingly to spare the country in marching through it, and to treat it as though it had been handed over to them and were their own.
Titus was troubled and distressed at this, and by labouring with the commission finally persuaded it to free these cities also from their garrisons, in order that his gift to the Greeks might be whole and entire.
Titus, however, was so affected by the misfortune of his brother that he leagued himself with those who had long hated Cato, and after getting the upper hand in the senate, revoked and annulled all the public rentals and leases and contracts which Cato had made, besides bringing many heavy indictments against him.

 The Internet Classics Archive | The Comparison of Philopoemen with Flamininus by Plutarch
Titus reserved to Philip the royal dignity; he pardoned the Aetolians, and stood their friend; but Philopoemen, exasperated against his country, deprived it of its supremacy over the adjacent villages.
Titus was ever constant to those he had once befriended; the other, upon any offence, as prone to cancel kindnesses.
Titus decided the matter betwixt Philip and himself in two engagements; but Philopoemen came off victorious in ten thousand encounters, to all which fortune had scarcely any pretence, so much were they owing to his skill.

 The Baldwin Project: Our Young Folks' Plutarch by Rosalie Kaufman
Flamininus proved that this was not the case later, when he treated with Philip in person, for he granted him his kingdom only on condition that he would give up all claim to Greece and pay a large fine.
Flamininus went there again, added to the number of his achievements, and did not return to Rome until Greece was rid of her enemies and all her colonies were reconciled to one another.
Flamininus did not show his usual good sense on this occasion, for he was very indignant, and took sides with Cato's enemies in opposing all he said and did in the senate.

HAT Titus Quintius Flamininus, whom we select as a parallel to Philopœmen, was in personal appearance, those who are curious may see by the brazen statue of him, which stands in Rome near that of the great Apollo, brought from Carthage, opposite to the Circus Maximus, with a Greek inscription upon it.

Accordingly, the province of Macedonia, and the conduct of the war with Philip V. of Macedon, in which, after two years, Rome had as yet gained little advantage, were assigned to him.
There is more force in the charge that his Hellenic sympathies prevented him from seeing the innate weakness and mutual jealousies of the Greek states of that period, whose only hope of peace and safety lay in submitting to the protectorate of the Roman republic.

 Second Macedonian War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The decisive battle was at Cynoscephalae in Thessaly in 197 BC, when the legions of Titus Flamininus defeated Philip's Macedonian phalanx.
Macedonian control of Greece was shattered, and at the Isthmian Games in Corinth in 196 BC, Flamininus proclaimed the freedom of Greece, although in fact Greece had now become a Roman protectorate in all but name.
Asides from the control over Greece, another reason for the war was that Rome saw Philip as a traitor: Philip had supported Hannibal of Carthage, which had led to the First Macedonian War.

The assertion of Peele's hand in the play is controversial, and those who admire the play tend to argue against it, but calling a play a collaboration does not necessarily mean that it is unworthy of attention.
Titus Andronicus is perhaps Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy; some measure of its matter can be gleaned from a single stage-direction: Enter the empress' sons with Lavinia, her hands cut off, and her tongue cut out, and ravished.
The character of Titus has been played by important actors such as Laurence Olivier, Brian Cox, Anthony Sher and Anthony Hopkins, and is increasingly being regarded as one of the great Shakespearean roles.
