38. haec in Hispania P. Scipionis ductu auspicioque gesta. ipse L. Lentulo et L. Manlio Acidino propraetoribus1 provincia tradita decem navibus Romam rediit, [2?] et senatu extra urbem dato in aede Bellonae quas res in Hispania gessisset disseruit, quotiens signis conlatis dimicasset, quot oppida ex hostibus vi cepisset, quas gentes in dicionem populi Romani redegisset; [3] adversus quattuor se imperatores, quattuor victores exercitus in Hispaniam isse; neminem Carthaginiensem in iis terris reliquisse. [4] ob has res gestas magis temptata est triumphi spes quam petita pertinaciter, quia neminem ad eam diem triumphasse qui sine magistratu res gessisset constabat. [5] senatu misso urbem est [p. 152] ingressus, argentique prae se in aerarium tulit2 quattuordecim3 milia pondo trecenta quadraginta duo et signati argenti magnum numerum. [6] comitia inde creandis consulibus habuit L. Veturius Philo, centuriaeque omnes ingenti favore P. Cornelium Scipionem4 consulem dixerunt; collega additur ei P. Licinius Crassus pontifex maximus. [7] ceterum comitia maiore quam ulla per id bellum celebrata frequentia proditum memoriae est. [8] convenerant undique non suffragandi modo, sed etiam spectandi causa P. Scipionis, concurrebantque et domum frequentes et in Capitolium ad immolantem eum, cum centum bubus votis in Hispania Iovi sacrificaret; spondebantque5 animis, [9?] sicut C. Lutatius superius bellum Punicum finisset, ita id quod instaret P. Cornelium finiturum, [10?] atque uti Hispania omni Poenos expulisset, sic Italia pulsurum esse; Africamque ei, perinde ac debellatum in Italia foret, provinciam destinabant. [11] praetoria inde comitia habita. creati duo qui tum aediles plebis erant, Sp. Lucretius et Cn. Octavius, et ex privatis Cn.6 Servilius Caepio et L. Aemilius Papus.

[12] quarto decimo anno Punici belli P. Cornelius7 Scipio et P. Licinius Crassus ut consulatum inierunt, nominatae consulibus provinciae sunt, Sicilia Scipioni [p. 154] extra sortem, concedente collega, quia sacrorum cura8 pontificem maximum in Italia retinebat, Bruttii Crasso. [13] tum praetoriae provinciae in sortem coniectae. urbana Cn. Servilio obtigit, Ariminum—ita Galliam appellabant—Sp. Lucretio, Sicilia L. Aemilio, Cn. Octavio Sardinia.

[14] senatus in Capitolio habitus. Ibi referente P. Scipione senatus consultum factum est ut, quos ludos inter seditionem militarem in Hispania vovisset, ex ea pecunia quam ipse in aerarium detulisset faceret.
