After his time as a Praetor he would lend Cneius Tremellius two legions for the Second Punic War.
He became consul in 199 BC and went to Macedon to take over the command after Publius Sulpicius Galba Maximus.
[4] Pausanias states that during the war with Macedon Villius destroyed the Greek cities of Histiaia on Euboia and Antikyra in Phokis and it was for this reason Flamininus replaced him.
A year later he served as an envoy for peace negotiations with Philip V of Macedon and Antiochus III the Great.
[8] The only reference to him exists on the triumphal arch of Augustus, fragments of which are called the Fasti Capitolini, and Horace's Satires.
