Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica Serapio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica Serapio was consul in 138 BC. He had a prominent part in the murder of Tiberius Gracchus; in order to save him from the vengeance of the populares, he was sent by the Senate on a pretended mission to Asia despite being the pontifex maximus. He died shortly afterwards, in Pergamum. The nickname "Serapio" was given to him by the tribune C. Curiatius, for his likeness to one Serapio, a dealer in sacrificial victims. This same tribune threw Serapio and his consular colleague, Decimus Junius Brutus, into prison for the manner in which they conducted the troop levy.

See Appian, Punica, 80 n.c., i. i6; Valerius Maximus ix. 14; Plutarch, Tiberius Gracchus, 21.
