Titus Quinctius Flamininus
"Claudus" appeared in the beginning of the third century, but was rapidly replaced by "Flamininus", which derived from "flamen", and also gave rise to the "gens Flaminia". This cognomen was likely adopted by the descendants of Lucius Quinctius, who was Flamen Dialis during the third quarter of the third century BC. The family remained prominent over the next century; their most famous member was Titus Quinctius Flamininus, who defeated Philip V of Macedon in 197 BC.
