Marcus Pomponius Matho (fl. 236 BC – 211 BC) was Roman Consul for 233 BC with Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosses, later called Cunctator, and General of Rome. He was the maternal grandfather of general and statesman Publis Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major. During Marcus' consulship, Matho carried on war against the Sardinians, and was granted a triumph for his victory against them. The victory was incomplete however due to the war being carried on by his brother Marcus, who was the Consul for 231 BC.

abstract
  • Marcus Pomponius Matho (fl. 236 BC – 211 BC) was Roman Consul for 233 BC with Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosses, later called Cunctator, and General of Rome. He was the maternal grandfather of general and statesman Publis Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major. During Marcus' consulship, Matho carried on war against the Sardinians, and was granted a triumph for his victory against them. The victory was incomplete however due to the war being carried on by his brother Marcus, who was the Consul for 231 BC. In 217 BC, he was chosen magister equitum to the dictator, Lucius Veturius Philo, then elected Praetor in 216 BC. There was no reason to believe that the Matho, praetor of that year, was a different person from the consul of 233 BC, as the Romans already went to war against Hannibal and were anxious to appoint the great offices of the state generals who had experience in war. Many did not give any mimlitary command to Matho, but the jurisdictio inter ewes Romanos et peregrines. News was received about the battle of Cannae, Matho and his colleague, the Praetor Urbanus, summoned senate to the curia Hostilia to debate on what steps were to be taken. (Liv. xxii. 33, 35, 55, xxiii. 20, 24.) At the expiration of Matho's office, he became Propraetor and recieved the province of Cisalpine Gaul, in 215 BC; for Livy says (xxiv. 10), in 214 BC, the province of Gaul was continued to him still. Livy did not make any mention of Matho's appointment in 215 BC but states (xxiii. 25) that in that year, no army was sent into Gaul on account of the want of soldiers. We only reconcile these statements by supposing that Matho was appointed to the province but did not obtain any troops that year. He died in 211 BC as one of the Pontifices.(Liv. xxvi. 23.) He was succeeded in that office by Gaius Livius Salinator.
