GLABRIO . 1. MANIUS AcILIUs GLABRIO, Roman statesman and general, member of a plebeian family. When
consul
  in 191 B.C. he defeated Antiochus the
Great
  of Syria at Thermopylae, and compelled him to leave
Greece
 . He then turned his attention to the Aetolians, who had persuaded Antiochus to declare war against Rome, and was only prevented from crushing them by the intercession of T. Quinctius Flamininus. In 189 Glabrio was a candidate for the censorship, but was bitterly opposed by the nobles. He was accused by the tribunes of having concealed a portion of the Syrian spoils in his own
house
 ; his legate gave evidence against him, and he withdrew his candidature. It is probable that he was the author of the law which left it to the discretion of the pontiffs to insert or omit the intercalary month of the year.
Censorinus, De die natali, xx.; Macrobius, Saturnalia, i. 13 ; index to Livy ; Appian, Syr. 17-21.
2. MANIUS AcILIUs GLABRIO, Roman statesman and general, grandson of the famous jurist P. Mucius Scaevola. When praetor urbanus (70 B.C.) he presided at the trial of Verres. According to Dio
Cassius
  (xxxvr. 38), in conjunction with L.
Calpurnius
  Piso, his colleague in the consulship (67), he brought forward a severe law (Lex Acilia Calpurnia) againstillegal canvassing at elections. In the same year he was appointed to supersede L. Lucullus in the government of Cilicia and the command of the war against
Mithradates
 , but as he did absolutely nothing and was unable to
control
  the soldiery, he was in turn superseded by Pompey according to the provisions of the Manilian law. Little else is known of him except that he declared in favour of the death
punishment
  for the Catilinarian conspirators.

Cassius
  xxxvi. 14, 16. 24; Cicero, Pro lege Manilla, 2. 9; Appian, Mithrid. 90.
