1. The part played by Africanus is somewhat hard to understand. He had his own reputation to maintain (cf. vi. 6 above), as had Flamininus, but he was apparently less able to control his brother than he had perhaps expected. Scipio's greater concern for the Asiatic war was no doubt due to ambition for new renown for himself and his family, and probably to the political situation in Rome. Flamininus had defeated him badly two years before (XXXV. x), and this probably still rankled, despite his more recent successes. A decisive victory in Asia would strengthen greatly the position of the Scipionic party in Rome. The result was that Scipio and Flamininus were agreed as to the policy to be adopted towards the Aetolians, but for different reasons: Africanus to clear the way for the invasion of Asia, Flamininus to maintain his own peculiar position.
