Albi'nus
12. Sp. Postumius Albinus, L. F. A. N., was praetor peregrinus in B. C. 189 (Liv. 37.47, 50), and consul in 186.
In his consulship the senatusconsultum was passed, which is still extant, suppressing the worship of Bacchus in Rome, in consequence of the abominable crimes which were committed in connexion with it. (39.6, 11, &c.; V. Max. 6.3.7; Plin. Nat. 33.10; Dict. of Ant. p. 344.)
He was also augur, and died in 179 at an advanced age. (Liv 40.42; Cic. Cato, 3.)

Attalus Ii.
Surnamed PHILADELPHUS, was the second son of Attalus I., and was born in B. C. 200. (Lucian, Macrob. 12; Strab. xiii. p.624.)
Before his accession to the crown, we frequently find him employed by his brother Eumenes in military operations. In B. C. 190, during the absence of Eumenes, he resisted an invasion of Seleucus, the son of Antiochus, and was afterwards present at the battle of Mount Sipylus. (Liv. 37.18, 43.) In B. C. 189, he accompanied the consul Cn. Manlius Vulso in his expedition into Galatia. (Liv. 38.12; Plb. 22.22.) In 182, he served his brother in his war with Pharnaces. (Plb. 25.4, 6.) In 171, with Eumenes and Athenaeus, he joined the consul P. Licinius Crassus in Greece. (Liv. 42.55, 58, 65.)
He was several times sent to Rome as ambassador: in B. C. 192, to announce that Antiochus had crossed the Hellespont (Liv. 35.23); in 181, during the war between Eumenes and Pharnaces (Plb. 25.6); in 167, to congratulate the Romans on their victory over Perseus. Eum

Chioma'ra
(*Xioma/ra), wife of Ortiagon, king of Galatia, was taken prisoner by the Romans when Cn. Manlius Vulso invaded Galatia, B. C. 189, and was violated by the centurion into whose hands she fell.
She agreed, however, to pay him a large sum for her ransom; and when he had delivered her up to a body of her countrymen who met them at an appointed place for the purpose, she caused him to be put to death, and carried back his head to her husband. (Plb. 22.21, and apud Plut. de Mul. Virt. p. 225, ed. Tauchn.; V. Max. 6.1. Extern. 2; comp. Liv. 38.12.) Polybiius says (l.c.), that he had himself conversed with her at Sardis, and admired her high spirit and good sense. [E.
Clau'dius
21. P. Claudius App. F. P. N. PULCHER, son of No. 17. In B. C. 189 he was curule aedile, and in 188 praetor. (Liv. 38.35.) In 184 he was made consul [see No. 20] (39.32), and in 181 one of the three commissioners appointed for planting a colony at Graviscae. (40.29.)

Cotta, Aure'lius
4. M. Aurelius Cotta, was legate of L. Cornelius Scipio, in B. C. 189, during the war against Antiochus.
He returned to Rome with the ambassadors of Antiochus, with Eumenes and the Rhodians, to report to the senate the state of affairs in the East. (Liv. 37.52.)
Damis
2. An Athenian, son of Icesias, was sent by his countrymen to intercede with the Romans on behalf of the Aetolians, B. C. 189, and is said to have been very instrumental, through his eloquence, in obtaining peace for the latter. (Plb. 22.14.)
He is called Leon by Livy (38.10; comp. 35.50.)
