Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'scipio'

The Scipio family was a prominent patrician branch of the ancient Roman Cornelii clan that produced several influential military and political leaders during the Roman Republic. Most notably, Scipio Africanus defeated Hannibal at the Battle of Zama in 202 BCE, ending the Second Punic War, while Scipio Aemilianus led the destruction of Carthage in 146 BCE. In alternate history scenarios, the Scipios often represent turning points in Rome's expansion and the development of its imperial character.
