early 2nd century BC) was an ancient Roman nobilis, originally born to Quintus Fulvius Flaccus, who had been consul four times,[1] but was adopted into the Manlia gens, probably by Lucius Manlius Acidinus.
In the latter year he defeated the Celtiberi, and had it not been for the arrival of his successor would have reduced the whole people to subjection.
[3] In 183 BC he was one of the ambassadors sent into Gallia Transalpina, and was also appointed one of the triumvirs for founding the Latin colony of Aquileia, which was however not founded until 181 BC.
[4] He was consul in 179 BC,[5] with his brother by birth, Quintus Fulvius Flaccus, which is the only instance of two brothers holding the consulship at the same time during the Republic.
[2][6] At the election of Acidinus, M. Scipio declared him to be virum bonum, egregiumque civem.
