Illius vero Romanae liberalitatis caelestem spiritum nullae litterae satis dignis laudibus prosequentur: Philippo enim Macedoniae rege superato, cum ad Isthmicum spectaculum tota Graecia convenisset, T. Quinctius Flamininus tubae signo silentio facto per praeconem haec verba recitari iussit: senatus populusque Romanus et T. Quinctius Flamininus imperator omnes Graeciae urbes quae sub dicione Philippi regis fuerunt liberas atque immunes esse iubet.
But no writing will attend with adequate encomiums the celestial spirit of the following example of Roman liberality. After the defeat of king Philip of Macedonia, all Greece gathered for the Isthmian spectacle. A trumpet call made silence, and through a herald T. Quinctius Flamininus ordered these words to be proclaimed: The senate and people of Rome and T. Quinctius Flamininus, commander-in-chief, order that all Grecian cities formerly under the dominion of king Philip, be free and exempt from tax.
