Manius Acilius Glabrio (consul 154 BC)

Manius Acilius Glabrio was a Roman politician and general who served as consul in 154 BC. He belonged to the Acilia gens, a plebeian family that rose to prominence during the Roman Republic.

Details about Glabrio's early life and career prior to his consulship are scarce. He likely held lower magistracies as part of the cursus honorum, the traditional sequence of political offices in Rome, but specific information is lacking.

As consul in 154 BC, Glabrio's primary military command was against the Ligurians, a people inhabiting northwestern Italy who frequently raided Roman territories. Appian briefly mentions that Glabrio fought against the Ligurians, and further details are supplied by Livy's summaries (periochae) which indicate he was not particularly successful in this endeavor. He did not achieve a decisive victory and was criticized for his handling of the campaign.

Little else is known about Manius Acilius Glabrio after his consulship. His son, also named Manius Acilius Glabrio, became consul in 119 BC.
