Mutiny at Sucro
The Roman army's mutiny at Sucro, a no longer existing ancient fort in Spain, took place in early 206 BC, during the Roman conquest of Hispania in the Second Punic War against Carthage.〔Livy 28.24〕 The mutineers had several grievances, including not having received the pay due to them and being under-supplied.〔 The proximate causes of the mutiny had existed for years, but had not been addressed to the soldiers' satisfaction.〔 Matters came to a head after rumors spread that their commanding general, Scipio Africanus, had become gravely ill.〔 But the stories proved to be without foundation; he succeeded in suppressing the mutiny and executed its ringleaders.〔Chrissanthos, p. 183〕〔Livy 28.24–29〕〔Polybius 11.25–30〕
Ancient scholars considered the mutiny to be the most important event of Africanus's early military career.〔Chrissanthos, p. 173. ''Despite a lack of interest on the part of modern historians, the ancients treat the mutiny at Sucro as the most important incident of Scipio's early career.''〕
== Location ==
One source says Sucro is at or near present-day Alzira, a few kilometres east of the mouth of the Sucro/Jucar River.〔Boix, p. 145 ''Almost buried in a grove of mulberry trees and towering stands a compact mass of buildings that dominate some towers, and utterly old walls. That is the town of Alcira, that's the old Sucro. Not only in geography, but history also has its place in the city of Sucre. ''〕 According to another source Sucro is a place half-way between Cartagena and the Ebro River now called Cullera, also near Alzira.〔Florez, p. 34 paragraph 70 Latin translation: ''But part of the sea coast in Half in a way even to the Spaniard hence the part Sucro has the distance of the river, and its raids, the city and of the same name. ''〕 Additional sources also verify that it is Cullera.〔Murray, p. 498〕〔Granell, pp. 67–92〕 Yet another source says it is a place midway between Cartagena and Tarraco.〔Liddell, p. 72〕 Yet another source says the Sucro camp of 8,000 soldiers was established near the mouth of the Sucro River in a line of communication to New Carthage that Africanus set up, and was just south of Saguntum.〔Scullard, pp. 100-101〕
