| | Scipio Africanus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Africanus himself was subsequently (185) accused of having been bribed by Antiochus, but by reminding the people that it was the anniversary of his victory at Zama he caused an outburst of enthusiasm in his favor. | | | A commission of inquiry was sent over to Sicily, and it found that Scipio was at the head of a well-equipped fleet and army. | | | Even after the last of these defeats at the hands of the Carthaginians, he was resolutely focused on securing Roman victory. |

| | A tribune of Scipio soon afterward cut off a large convoy of provisions which was on its way to the camp of Hannibal, and this suddenly threw him into such difficulties that he began to negotiate with Scipio for peace. | | | During these preparations of Hasdrubal, Scipio was engaged against the two other Carthaginian generals, one of whom (Mago) was defeated, in B.C. by the proprietor Silanus, in the country of the Celtiberians, and Hanno, who came with an auxiliary army from Africa, was taken prisoner. | | | Gracchus, though disapproving of the violence of Africanus, liberated Lucius from imprisonment. |

| | Scipio's brother Lucius, he succeeded in obtaining a sentence against him, which condemned him to the payment of a large sum of money to the state; and being insolvent, and in danger of being thrown into jail, he was, by the interposition of the tribunes of the people, with much ado dismissed. | | | Scipio; but not being able to destroy him, by reason of the nobleness of his family, and the real greatness of his mind, which enabled him to trample all calumnies underfoot, Cato at last would meddle no more with him; yet joining with the accusers against | | | Scipio the younger, who was the adopted grandson of the former, and the son of that Paulus, who overthrew Perseus and the Macedonians. |

| | Still, the Romans had a difficult time with the numerically superior Carthaginian infantry and looked about to succumb to them when their cavalry suddenly returned and, attacking Hannibal's forces in the rear, caused the Carthaginian formation to disintegrate. | | | However, Scipio had done the same with his combined line of principes and triarii, and so was able to counter the Carthaginian flanking action. | | | Despite the cautious senate's opposition to this plan, the Roman people gave Scipio the requisite authority to attempt the invasion. |
