Scipio

Scipio (plural, Scipiones) is a Roman cognomen used by a branch of the Cornelii family. The Scipiones were traditional political allies of the Paulii branch of the Aemilius family. Their family tomb, dated to the 3rd century BC and rediscovered in 1780, contained one of the earliest collections of Latin inscriptions, and an important historical source for the Roman Republic.
