Comporanda

Is this actually a real word?! I can't find it in a dictionary, and googling it only seems to bring up the same quote from Morton's work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gymnophoria (talk • contribs) 04:07, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Scipio?

That he was a leader has no citation. A. E. Astin's "Scipio Aemilianus" mentions this war a few times, but not Scipio's involvement therein. Strange if he was. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.186.82.229 (talk) 08:40, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

-Quite right to ask. Scipio did not participate in putting down the revolt. In 133 he was in Spain putting down the revolt of Numantia, and a passage of Mommsen's The History of Rome, (Meridian Books, 1958), ch. I., p. 46, “when challenged publicly on his return from Spain (132 BC.) [whether he approved of Gracchus' death]”, apparently indicates that he did not join Rupilius in 132 in subduing the Sicilian revolt.
