NOBILIOR, MARCUS FULVIUS

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 724 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NOBILIOR, MARCUS FULVIUS , Roman general, a member of one of the most important families of the plebeian Fulvian gens. When praetor (193 B.C.) he served with distinction in Spain, and as
consul
  in 1Sg he completely broke the power of the Aetolian league. On his return to Rome, Nobilior celebrated a
triumph
  (of which full details are given by Livy) remarkable for the magnificence of the spoils exhibited. On his Aetolian campaign he was accompanied by the poet Ennius, who made the capture of Ambracia, at which he was present, the. subject of one of his plays. For this Nobilior was bitterly attacked by Cato the Censor, on the ground that he had compromised his dignity as a Roman general. He restored the temple of Hercules and the Muses in the
Circus
  Flaminius, placed in it a
list
  of
Fasti
 
drawn
  up by himself, and endeavoured to make the Roman calendar more generally known. He was a
great
  enthusiast for
Greek
  art and culture, and introduced many of its masterpieces into Rome, amongst them the picture of the Muses by Zeuxis from Ambracia.
