Description: This paper attempts to clarify the discrepancies between the testimonies of Polybius and Cicero regarding the date of C. Flaminius’ tribunate. It is argued that Cicero entered 228 as the year of Flaminius’ tribunate for reasons of self aggrandizement, and not because he consulted an inferior source as suggested by Niccolini. Polybius’ chronology (232) should be preferred.
