	Scipio Aemilianus Africanus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the early operations of the war, which went altogether against the Romans, Scipio Aemilianus, though a subordinate officer, distinguished himself repeatedly, and in 147 he was elected consul, while yet under the legal age, in order that he might hold the supreme command.
		Scipio Aemilianus himself, though not in sympathy with the extreme conservative party, was decidedly opposed to the schemes of the Gracchi (whose sister Sempronia was his wife).
		Lucius Calpurnius Piso Frugi and Publius Mucius Scaevola

		Scipio was in a difficult position on the coast awaiting his new Numidian allies, while Hannibal was in position to block their junction.
		Scipio was a devoted family-man in contrast to the sexually licentious Caesar and the drunken and intemperate Alexander or the megalomaniac Napoleon.

	P. Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus Africanus Minor (185/4-129 B.C.)
		Scipio was the second son of Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus, hero of the Third Macedonian War and son of the consul (of the same name) who fell at the Battle of Cannae in 216.
		No doubt Scipio was oppressed by the thought of the responsibility that he would have on becoming the head of the great house of the Scipios (it is uncertain when his adoptive father, Publius Scipio, died) as well as in representing the Aemilii.
		Scipio took with him to Spain a number of volunteers and a corps of 500 friends and dependents as a kind of bodyguard (an embryonic praetorian cohort): these were perhaps all the more necessary because his first task was to rediscipline the Roman troops in Spain, who were in a shocking state.
