 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.05.25
Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica, another descendant of the family of the Cornelii, who was responsible for the tribune's murder, according to Plutarch had to leave Rome because of the hatred of the people resulting from this deed and was sent on a minor mission to Pergamon (Tiberius Gracchus, 21).
Therefore, Berneder concludes that the legend of Scipio Nasica and Claudia Quinta as the recipients of the cult of Magna Mater into Rome in BCE 205/204 was a literary fiction of the Gracchan period, as already suggested by Livy, who very much doubts the story.
Scipio Nasica, the Gens Claudia, the Attalids and Pergamon were important factors in Rome in 205/204 and 133 BCE.
