Titus Flamininus

The Roman Senate wanted to free all the Greek Cities except for a few important ones. Hearing this, the Aetolians spread the word, and stirred up the Greeks. They said that Rome had "unshackled the feet of Greece, to tie her by the neck." It vexed Titus also. He talked with the Senate, and finally got the Senate to un-garrison all the towns. At some of the Greek Games, a crier came and announced it to the people. They yelled so loud that birds fell from the sky! So all of Greece was set free, and in debt to Titus.

I think that Titus sees things this way: That if they help the Greeks back to where they were, back on their feet, and watch them like a big brother, it will be better for Greece and Rome.
