Synopsis
Excerpt from The Civil and Constitutional History of Rome, Vol. 2 of 2: From Its Foundation to the Age of Augustus
The year of the destruction of Numantia was memorable for a tragical scene at Rome, in which Nasica, another of the Scipios, was the principal actor, setting the first example of civil discord carried to its most outrageous excess, and ending in the effusion of blood. The dreadful precedent was too soon followed by other heads of parties, who without the same good intentions towards the public, or so plausible an excuse, sacrificed to their own vengeance avarice or ambition some of the best men who ever adorned their country.
