Scipio Africanus

[Favonius Cornelius]

If you can't get the Scipio book, Scullard goes into much detail on the man anyway in his general history of the Roman Republic. He's an excellent author and detailed, I learned my history from his books. In fact might be more of what you are looking for if you were interested in a more global look of his times in relation to him.

Try some used book store snuggled away in a dark alley.

 

I work in one of those, and I cannot find there. But thank you, second-hand book shops are brilliant.

Yes, H H Scullard's From the Gracchi to Nero is the book that single-handedly got me interested in all things Roman; I suppose that's why I'm so eager to get one of his other books.

Hmm... just an aside...

 

Maybe if we can get another "book giveaway" sponsor a more expensive grand prize along the lines of Scullard's book may be appropriate.

No, nothing near me, but I appreciate your effort.

Alas, I have finally located the book in my student library. The only problem now however, is that I do not have enough time to read it.
