You are aware that the name Africa, comes from a Roman General who was named Scipio Africanus, right?

Publius Cornelius Scipio was born by Caesarean section into the family of the Cornelii Scipiones. His birth year is calculated from statements made by ancient historians (mainly Livy and Polybius) of how old he was when certain events in his life occurred and must have been 236/5 BC, usually stated as circa 236 BC

Scipio after conquering Ifriqiya,  , or Africa. Became Scipio the conquer of Africa. Hence Scipio the Africanus. The term Ifriqiya,  or Africa comes from north african ethnic groups mean sunny place, another translation is cave or dust.

Massey, in 1881, stated that Africa is derived from the Egyptian af-rui-ka, meaning "to turn toward the opening of the Ka." The Ka is the energetic double of every person and the "opening of the Ka" refers to a womb or birthplace. Africa would be, for the Egyptians, "the birthplace."

Its like saying George Bush the Iraqiw, Bush Iraq. Bush the conquered Iraq

Africa comes from an African language not European or Asian. It has culture relevance to us, Ifriqiya is a sunny place.

And ifriqiya is the birthplace of humans

Marcus Brutus and the conspirators: Caesar's leaving for Parthia in three weeks! How can we plan an assassination with so little time?!

The ghost of Scipio Nasica Serapio: Pathetic. He doesn't even have bodyguards. In my day we'd just walk up to him in the forum and beat him to death with chairs.

the thing about my immortal's "(that's how i got my name)" is how it inadvertently encapsulates the nature of certain roman names. hi my name is marcus tullius cicero and i have a cecil-shaped mole on my nose (that's how i got my name). hi my name is publius cornelius scipio africanus and i conquered africa (that's how i got my name). hi my name is publius claudius pulcher and im a major fucking hottie (that's how i got my name).

José Garnelo y Alda (Spanish, 1866-1944) The family Scipio Cornelio, n.d. Depicted in the present painting is Cornelia, daughter of the Roman General Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus ("Conqueror of Africa"), hero of the Second Punic War, with her sons Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus. Well-respected for her learning and her virtue, Cornelia was devoted to her two sons and assisted with their education when they were young. Both went on to have political careers during the Roman Republic, and Cornelia continued to support them even when they backed legislation that sought to transfer land from wealthy landowners to poorer citizens, in effect revolting against the aristocratic class to which they belonged. Cornelia retired outside of Rome when both Tiberius and Gaius were murdered by members of the Roman Senate because of their radical views. Over the centuries, Cornelia was considered a model Roman matron; at times the emphasis was placed on her education and abilities, and at other times on her maternal devotion. The present work is a combination of both, presenting her as a mother and riveting teacher.

Too many Scipios

Lucius Aemilius Paullus had a son named Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus. LAP senior's daughter married Scipio Africanus. Together they had three sons. Their names were Lucius Cornelius Scipio, Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio and Publius Cornelius Scipio. The couple also had two daughters who were both named Cornelia. The elder of the two Cornelias married Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica Corculum (no relation). If any of this made you go cross eyed, you might not be cut out for Roman history. Welcome to the club

As Far As Dawn, 1.1

Near Isbal, Iberia

Tartessian Territory

206 BCE

Egilius: [This is Decurion Mettius Ranassius Numerianus Gavienus, of the Seventh. I am Lieutenant Gaius Egilius Vala, also of the Seventh. We come as envoys of Publius Cornelius Scipio, requesting parley with King Bilustibas.]

Guard: [Wait here in the courtyard.]

Author’s Notes

Egilius is the one pointing, on the left-hand horse. 

This was going to be a longer post, but I kept having issues with Ranassius and Egilius getting stuck and no longer posing after I took them out of their horseback poses, so we’re...going to have more bite-size increments for a little bit. Ah well.

What ab,,, Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus

[considers him too]

#asks

[just-late-roman-republic-things]

Stabbing: Messy. Cliché. Ruins your toga (expensive). May get you arrested for carrying a weapon in Rome.

Ripping apart his chair and beating him to death with it: Innovative. Laundry-friendly. Full-body workout. Demonstrates your passion and evokes the symbolic irony of a man being destroyed by his pursuit of power (a throne). Poetic, even.
