C. 196, he was praetor, and received the province of Nearer Spain, where he carried on the war with great success, and received in consequence the honour of a triumph on his return to Rome in B. C. 195 (Liv. 33.24, 26, 44, 34.10; Appian, Hisp. 39). In B. C. 193 he was consul with L. Cornelius Merula. He obtained Liguria as his province, where a formidable insurrection had just broken out. He made Pisae his head-quarters, and carried on the war with vigour; but in consequence of his inferiority to the enemy in numbers, he was obliged to remain on the defensive and was twice in great peril during the campaign. In the following year B. C. 192, his imperium was prolonged, and lie received additional troops, by means of which he was able to assume the
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Thoas (search)
Thoas （*Qo/as), an Aetolian, who was praetor of that nation in B. C. 193, and at a council held at Naupactus, took a prominent part in urging his countrymen to war with Rome, and advised them to send embassies to Philip and Antiochus. These, However, produced no effect for the moment, and the following year (B. C. 192) we find Thoas engaging on his own account in an unsuccessful attempt to reduce the important fortress of Chalcis. But circumstances now caused Antiochus to lend a more favourable ear to his overtures, and having repaired in person to join the king in Asia, he obtained.great influence over his mind, and, by his magniloquent promises, was mainly instrumental in persuading him to pass over in person with his army into Greece. Here also he readily induced the Aetolians, who were assembled in council at Lamia, to conclude an alliance with Antiochus, and place themselves under his command. We do not, however, hear any thing of the services which he rendered to the king durin

He was sent into Asia in order to conclude the peace, which his successor Scipio Asiaticus had made with Antiochus, and to arrange the affairs of Asia. He arrived at Ephesus in the spring of B. C. 189, and as he was anxious to obtain both glory and booty he resolved to attack the Gallograeci or Galatians in Asia Minor without waiting for any formal instructions from the senate. He carried on the war with success against them, conquered in battle the three chief tribes into which they were divided, called the Tolistoboii, Tectosagi and Trocmi, and compelled them to submit unconditionally to the Roman pow
