he received a wound, from the effects of which he
died shortly after the surrender of the city. He
ineffectually opposed the infliction of the sanguinary
vengeance which Fulvius took on the Capuans.

Polyb. ix. 3.)

20. APP. CLAUDIUS APP. F. P. N. PULCHER,
son of No. 17. In B. c. 197 and the three following years, he served as military tribune under
T. Quinctius Flamininus in Greece in the war with
Philip. (Liv. xxxii. 35, 36, xxxiii. 29, xxxiv. 50.)
We find him again in Greece in 191, serving first
under M. Baebius in the war with Antiochus
(xxxvi. 10), and afterwards under the consul M'.
Acilius Glabrio against the Aetolians. (xxxvi. 22,
"30.) In 187 he was made praetor, and Tarentum
fell to him by lot as his province. (xxxviii. 42.)
In 185 he was elected consul, and gained some
advantages over the Ingaunian Ligurians, and, by
his violent interference at the comitia, procured
the election of his brother Publius to the consulship. (xxxix. 23, 32.) In 184, when Philip
was preparing for a new war with the Romans,
Appius was sent at the head of an embassy into
Macedonia and Greece, to observe his movements
and wrest from his grasp the cities of which he
had made himself master. (xxxix. 33-39.) In
176 he was one of an embassy sent to the Aetolians, to bring about a cessation of their internal
hostilities and oppose the machinations of Perseus.
(xli. 25, 27.)
21. P. CLAUDIUS APP. F. P. N. PULCHER, son
of No. 17. In B. c. 189 he was curule aedile, and
in 188 praetor. (Liv. xxxviii. 35.) In 184 he
was made consul [see No. 20] (xxxix. 32), and
in 181 one of the three commissioners appointed
for planting a colony at Graviscae. (xl. 29.)
22. C. CLAUDIUS APP. F. P. N. PULCHER, another son of No. 17 (Fasti Cap.; Liv. xxxiii. 44),
was made augur in B.C. 195, praetor in 180 (xl.
37, 42), and consul in 177. The province of
Istria fell to his lot. Fearing lest the successes of
the consuls of the preceding year might render his
presence unnecessary, he set out without'performing the regular initiatory ceremonies of the consulship, but soon found himself compelled to return.
Having again proceeded to his province with a
fresh army, he captured three towns, and reduced
the Istrians to subjection. He next marched
against the Ligurians, whom he defeated, and
celebrated a double triumph at Rome. Having.held the comitia, he returned to Liguria and
recovered the town of Mutina. (xli. 10-18;
Polyb. xxvi. 7.) In 171 he served as military
tribune under P. Licinius against Perseus. (Liv.
xlii. 49.) In 169 he was censor with Ti. Sempronius Gracchus. Their severity drew down upon
them an impeachment from one of the tribunes,
but the popularity of Gracchus secured an acquittal. Claudius opposed his colleague, who
wished to exclude the freedmoen from all the tribes,
and at last it was agreed that they should be
enrolled in one tribe-the Esquiline. (xliii. 14
-16, xliv. 16, xlv. 15; Valer. Max. vi. 5. ~ 3.)
In 167 Claudius was one of an embassy of ten sent
into Macedonia. lie died in this year. (xlv. 17,
44; Polyb. xxx. 10.)
23. C. CLAUDIUS CENTO, probably the grandson of No. 14, served under the consul P. Sulpicius

CLAUDIUS. 7I9
in B. c. 200, in the war with Philip. Being sent
to the relief of Athens, which was besieged by a
Macedonian army, he raised the siege. He next
made himself master of Chalcis in Euboea, and
gained several advantages over Philip, who marched in person upon Athens. (Liv. xxxi. 14, 22,
&c.; Zonar. ix. 15.)
24. APP. CLAUDIUS CENTO, brother of No. 23,
was aedile in B. c. 178. (Liv. xl. 59.) In 175
he was made praetor, and received Hispania Citerior as his province. Here he gained a victory
over the revolted Celtiberi, for which he was
honoured with an ovation. (xli. 22, 31, 33.) In
173 he was sent into Thessaly, and quieted the
disturbances which prevailed there. (xlii. 5.) In
172 he was one of an embassy sent into Macedonia to communicate to Perseus the demands and
threats of the Romans. (xlii. 25.) In 170 he was
legatus under the consul A. Hostilius. Having
been sent with 4000 men into Illyricum, lie sustained a defeat near the town of Uscana. (xliii.
11, 12.)
25. App. CLAUDIUS APP. F. APP. N. PULCHER,
son of No. 20. He was consul in B. c. 143, and,
to obtain a pretext for a triumph, attacked the
Salassi, an Alpine tribe. He was at first defeated,
but afterwards, following the directions of the Sibylline books, gained a victory. (Frontin. de
Aquaed. 7; Dion Cass. Fragm. lxxix. lxxx.; Ores.
v. 4.) On his return a triumph was refused him;
but he triumphed at his own expense, and when
one of the tribunes attempted to drag him from
his car, his daughter Claudia, one of the Vestal
virgins, walked by his side up to the capitol. (Cic.
pro Cael. 14; Sueton. Tib. 2.) Next year he was
an unsuccessful candidate for the censorship, though
he afterwards held that office with Q. Fulvius Nobilior, probably in 136. (Dion Cass. Fragm. lxxxiv.;
Plut. Tib. Gracch. 4.) He gave one of his daughters in marriage to Tib. Gracchus, and in B. c. 133
with Tib. and C. Gracchus was appointed commissioner for the division of the lands. (Liv. Epit.
58; Orelli, lnscr. No. 570; Veil. Pat. ii. 2.) Appius
lived at enmity with P. Scipio Aemilianus. (Plut.
Aemil. 38; Cic. de Rep. i. 19.) e died shortly
after Tib. Gracchus. (Appian, B. C. i. 18.) He was
one of the Salii, an augur, and princeps senatus.
(Macrob. Saturn. ii. 10; Plut. Tib. Gracch. 4.)
Cicero (Brut. 28) says, that his style of speaking
was fluent and vehement. He married Antistia.
[ANTISTIA, NO. 1.]
26. C. CLAUDIUS PULCHER, son of No. 22, was
consul in B. C. 130, and laid information before the
senate of the disturbances excited by C. Papirius
Carbo. (Cic. de Leg. iii. 19.)
"*27. App. CLAUDIUS PULCHER, known only as
the son of No. 26 and father of No. 32.
28. C. CLAUDIUs PULCHER, also son of No. 26
and father of No. 34. (Cic. pro Plane. 21.)
29. APP. CLAUDIUS PULCHER, son of No. 25.
He inherited his father's enmity to P. Scipio Aemilianus. (Cic. pro Scaur. ii. 32.) In B. c. 107 he
took part in the discussions respecting the agrarian
law of Sp. Thorius. (Cic. de Orat. ii. 70.) He appears to have been of a facetious disposition.
