Years: 194BCE - 194BCE
All Roman troops are withdrawn in 194 BCE from Greece, where Flamininus is given divine honors.
Euboea comes under Roman rule; a priesthood to Flamininus is set up at Chalcis (which still survived in Plutarch's time), and a paean is composed to Titus, Zeus, and Roma, ending “Hail Paean Apollo, hail Titus our Savior” (or “Liberator”).
Flamininus' success is built on an ambiguity, however.
For Greeks, the proclamation of freedom means self-rule, but in Roman law a freed slave (libertus) becomes the client of his former master and still owes his patron respect and political obedience.
