Meanwhile Scipio's political enemies had gained ground, and on their return to Rome a prosecution was started (187) by two tribunes against Lucius on the ground of misappropriation of moneys received from Antiochus.
As Lucius was in the act of producing his account-books his brother wrested them from his hands, tore them in pieces, and flung them on the floor of the senate-house.

We are told that Scipio was involved in securing land-grants for the veterans of his army; a just reward for the more than 15 years of faithful service of the soldiers of Cannae.
Scipio's mysterious illness conveniently occuring so that Lucius could receive the glory of victory out of his brothers shadow, Scipio's rapid recovery in time to head the peace negotiations, and Scipio's cryptic messages to the Seleucid King all raise questions.
Regardless, the Scipio brothers had been triumphant, and Antiochus and the Seleucid Kingdom were evicted from all their possessions in Asia Minor, confining them to the (still huge) eastern parts of their Empire.

Scipio returned to Rome, and celebrated his triumph with great pomp; and he also, after the example of his brother, received the name of Asiaticus, from his conquest of Asia; as his brother, from the subjugation of Africa, had been surnamed Africanus.
The consul Lucius Aemilius Paulus was afterwards sent against him, and the praetor Caius Anicius into Illyricum against Gentius: but Gentius, being defeated with ease in a single battle, soon surrendered; and his mother, his wife, his two sons, and his brother, fell at the same time into the power of the Romans.
At that time, Scipio, the grandson of Scipio Africanus, served in the army in the capacity of tribune, for whom great fear and respect was felt by all; for he was regarded as eminently brave and skilful in the field.

Scipio's unusually generous treatment of his spies so impressed Hannibal that he arranged to meet the young Roman commander a few days later--alone except for two interpreters.
On the day of battle, Scipio drew his legions into a classic Roman formation of three lines, but in another departure from the conventional practice of the time, he arranged the maniples of each line to form directly behind those of the line in front, creating lanes that passed vertically through his infantry formations.
In 187 bc, his brother Lucius Scipio was accused of accepting bribes, to which Africanus responded by tearing up the incriminating documents before the tribunal.
