Scipio

Scipio returned to Italy after he had destroyed Carthage.

After Carthage was destroyed, Scipio returned to Italy.

After he was chosen as consul, Scipio was sent to Africa.

Seneca (epistol. lxxxvi.) compares the baths of Scipio Africanus, at his villa of Liternum, with the magnificence (which was continually increasing) of the public baths of Rome, long before the stately Thermae of Antoninus and Diocletian were erected.

It is clear that in the year 208 B.C., at least, Hasdrubal outmanoeuvred Publius Scipio, who held the command of the Roman forces in Spain; and whose object was to prevent him from passing the Pyrenees and marching upon Italy.
