Africanus Publius Scipio Younger
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Scipio Africanus the Younger: The Roman General and Statesman Who Defied Carthage" This print depicts Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus the Younger, a renowned Roman soldier and statesman, born in 185 BC. Known as Scipio Aemilianus or simply Africanus, he was the grandnephew of the legendary Scipio Africanus the Elder, who had famously defeated Hannibal Barca in the Second Punic War. The image captures Africanus in the prime of his military career, wearing the traditional Roman military attire - a tunic, a cloak, and a military crest on his helmet. His stern, determined expression and piercing gaze convey his unwavering resolve and strategic acumen. Africanus' military prowess was evident from an early age. He played a pivotal role in the Roman conquest of Numidia, a region in North Africa, and later led the Roman forces to victory against the Carthaginian general Hasdrubal Gisco in the Battle of Utica in 146 BC. This decisive victory marked the end of the Numidian War and the complete Roman domination of North Africa. However, Africanus was not just a brilliant military commander; he was also an accomplished statesman. He served as the Roman consul in 134 BC and was instrumental in the passage of several important laws, including the Lex Aemilia, which established the office of the quaestor urbanus and the Lex Aemilia Papiria, which granted Roman citizenship to the Latin allies. Africanus' legacy extended beyond his military and political achievements. He was a patron of the arts and a lover of literature, and his circle of friends included some of the greatest minds of the Roman Republic, such as the poet Ennius and the historian Livy. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Scipio Africanus the Younger, a man who defied Carthage on the battlefield and left an indelible mark on Roman history.
