Quintus Fulvius Flaccus (consul 179 BC)

Quintus Fulvius Flaccus (died 172 BC) was a plebeian consul of the Roman Republic in 179 BC. Because of his successes in Spain and Liguria, he celebrated two triumphs.^[1] Although his political career was a success, he was plagued by controversy and suffered a mental breakdown that culminated in suicide.

According to his recorded filiation "Q. f. M. n.", Fulvius was the son of Quintus Fulvius Flaccus, four times consul beginning in 237 BC, and grandson of Marcus Fulvius Flaccus, consul of 264 BC.^[2]
