Quis ignorat tantum laudis Scipionem Nasicam toga quantum armis utrumque Africanum meruisse, qui pestifera Ti. Gracchi manu faucibus apprensam rem publicam strangulari passus non est? sed is quoque propter iniquissimam virtutum suarum apud cives aestimationem sub titulo legationis Pergamum secessit, et quod vitae superfuit ibi sine ullo ingratae patriae desiderio peregit.
Who is ignorant that Scipio Nasica earned as much glory with the gown as either Africanus with their arms? He did not allow the commonwealth to be strangled when the murderous hand of Ti. Gracchus was at her throat. But he too met with a grossly unjust appreciation of his merits among his countrymen. Therefore under the pretext of a commission he withdrew to Pergamus and there passed the rest of his life without any regret for his ungrateful fatherland.
