Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica Serapio
P. Scipio (cos. 138)
also: P. Scipio, Publius Scipio
Consul of 138 BC who died during his consulship; a match for anyone in speaking Latin and surpassing all in wit. Cicero (Brutus 128) names him alongside his colleague L. Bestia. (The Nasica who as private citizen led the killing of Ti. Gracchus.)
