Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica (b. 227 BC) (Nasica meaning "pointed nose") was a consul of ancient Rome in 191 BC. He was a son of Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Calvus.

At the request of the Senate he journeyed with the Roman matrons to receive the statue of Magna Mater in 204 when it arrived from Anatolia at Ostia. He was later aedile in 197. As praetor in Hispania Ulterior (194), he defeated the Lusitanians at Ilipa, and as consul subjugated the Boii. He was not chosen as censor despite standing in both the elections of 189 and 184, a failure marking the decline of the influence of the Scipiones in Rome. He went on to help found Aquileia in 181, and appears in an inquiry of 171. When Cato the Elder pushed for a third war with Carthage, famously ending all his speeches with "Delenda Carthago", Nasica countered this tactic (albeit, usuccessfully) by ending all his speeches with "Carthage must be preserved."
