Rome · 298–121 BC
Conquerors, reformers and rivals
The Scipios were a branch of the patrician Cornelii, and for more than a century they held Rome's highest offices. The plate begins with Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus, consul in 298 BC, whose sarcophagus is now in the Vatican, and his son Lucius, consul in 259 BC, who took Corsica and Aleria. Two of Lucius's sons, Publius and Gnaeus, were killed fighting in Spain in 211 BC. Publius's son became Scipio Africanus, who defeated Hannibal at Zama in 202 BC.
Africanus married Aemilia, daughter of Lucius Aemilius Paullus, the consul killed at Cannae. Their younger daughter Cornelia married Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus and became the mother of the Gracchi, the tribunes Tiberius and Gaius. Their son Publius, in poor health, adopted a son of Aemilius Paullus, the victor at Pydna, who became Scipio Aemilianus and destroyed Carthage in 146 BC. The tree also shows the family turning on itself: in 133 BC Tiberius Gracchus was killed by a mob led by his cousin Scipio Nasica Serapio.
The piece
The lettering recalls the Tomb of the Scipios, where the family's epitaphs were cut in stone. A panel at the top left prints one of them in full, the epitaph of Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Hispanus, praetor in 139 BC, who says his honors ennobled his line. The eye moves from Barbatus at the top, down through the three red names, to the Gracchi along the bottom, while a long line beneath them carries Aemilianus back to the father he was born to.
