 Scipio Africanus Summary
Scipio was married to Aemilia, sister of Lucius Aemilius Paullus (victor of Pydna in 168 B.C.), and became the father of Cornelia, mother of the Gracchus brothers.
Scipio was born in 236 BC in Rome into the highly political Cornelii family.
While Scipio was long known for his great chivalry, it undoubtedly had an intentional ulterior motive: Scipio realized that the Senate's first priority was the war in Italy, and in the midst of the Carthaginian base in Hispania, he was to be outnumbered without much hope of reinforcement.
