C. E.)  \nP. Cornelius Scipio, Africanus Major (“Scipio”), was the son of that P. Cornelius Scipio who was defeated by the Carthaginian general, Hannibal, at the Ticinus. If it be true that at the age of seventeen Scipio fought in this battle, and rescued his wounded father, he must have been born in 235  \nB. C. E.  \n1. Who was Scipio’s father?  \n____________________________________  \n___________________________________  \nScipio was in the battle of Cannæ (216 B. C. E.) as a tribune, and was among those who, after the defeat, escaped to Canusium. Here the chief command of the remaining troops was unanimously entrusted to him and another. On this occasion it was owing to Scipio’s presence of mind that the remnants of the Roman army did not, in their despair, quit Italy.  \nIn 212 B. C. E., Scipio was curule ædile, though he had not yet attained the legitimate age. The tribunes of the people endeavored to prevent his election, but they were obliged to give up their opposition, for the people, who seem to have perceived the  \nextraordinary abilities of the young man, elected him almost unanimously.  \nIn 211 B. C. E., Scipio’s father and uncle fell in Spain (the Iberian Peninsula), and the Carthaginians again took possession of the country, which they had almost entirely lost. When Capua had fallen again into their hands, and Italy no longer required their exclusive attention, the Romans determined to act with more energy against the Carthaginians in Spain. On the day of the election, noone ventured to come forward to undertake the command in this war. Young Scipio, then scarcely twentyfour years of age, at last offered to take the command of the army in Spain. The people were struck with admiration at the courage of the young man, and gave him command, with proconsular power, which was afterward prolonged to him for several years (210-206 B. C. E.) .  \n2. Where did Scipio volunteer to command Italian troops?  \na. Carthage  \nb. Gaul  \nc. Sicily  \nd. Spain  \n[www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \nStudent Handouts (Order \\#3767603)  \nThe extraordinary power which young Scipio exercised over his contemporaries was perhaps partly owing to superstition, for he was believed to be a favorite of the gods. Ever since he had risen to manhood, he went every morning into the Capitol, where he spent some hours in solitude and meditation. Hence all he did was considered by the people to bethe result of his intercourse with the gods. Scipio himself partook in this opinion, and cherished it; and the extraordinary success of all his enterprises must have strengthened his belief.  \n3. Why was Scipio able to exercise  \ngreat power over the Roman people?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nToward the end of the summer, in 210 B. C. E., or, as Livy says, at the beginning of spring, Scipio set out for Spain with an army of 11,000 men, landed at the mouth of the Iberus, and undertook the command of the whole Roman forces in Spain. He was accompanied by his friend, Lælius.  \nScipio’s first object was to gain possession of New Carthage, where  \nthe Carthaginians kept their Spanish hostages. Lælius made the attack with the fleet from the seaside, while Scipio conducted the operations on land. The town soon fell into the hands of the Romans, and the generosity wi","cbCaio96YGLLPqaQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio96YGLLPqaQ","pdf",396785,14,"English","# Biography Workbook Series\n## Key figures and early life\n## Military service and rise in command\n## Volunteering for the war in Spain\n## Influence and superstition\n## Campaign in Iberia (Spain)\n## Conquest of New Carthage and diplomacy\n## Battle against Hasdrubal","[{\"question\":\"Who was Scipio’s father?\",\"answer\":\"Scipio Africanus Major is described as the son of P.
