Titus Flamininus

The Senate gave Titus the position of Censor, only given to ex-consuls. It was a very honorable position to have. He had friends all over, in different Greek States and other nations, and they gave him many honors, for he was just, kind, and honest. He was able to say things with grace and firmness at the same time.
 An example: A man once got rather drunk at a supper party, and then danced in women's clothing. He then asked for Titus' help with a big important issue, and Titus answered that he was surprised that a man could do such things, and yet get drunk and silly.
Another time, when one state's ambassadors were listing the divisions of the army with long, hard words to another state's ambassadors, he said to the ambassadors that these were just people armed in different ways. 

Here is one of the few blots on his career:
He had a rather nasty brother, and a man named Cato, a censor, removed this man from office, and did some things that made Titus think that Cato wanted to give him dishonor. This was not so, but Titus got mad about it, more so since this was his brother. This is one of the few blots on his career. I think he shouldn't of gotten mad, because his brother did some pretty bad things, and he probably would have done the same thing had the positions been reversed.
