Lucius Cornelius Scipio Asiaticus
Lucius Cornelius Scipio Asiaticus (2nd century BC-aft. 183 BC) was a Roman general and statesman. He was the son of Publius Cornelius Scipio and the younger brother of Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus.〔Polybius 10.4.1 "After this his elder brother Lucius was a candidate for the aedileship, which is almost the highest office at Rome open to young men, it being the custom to elect two patricians; but there being on this occasion several patrician candidates, Publius Scipio for long did not venture to stand for the same office as his brother."〕 He was elected consul in 190 BC, and later that year led (with his brother) the Roman forces to victory at the Battle of Magnesia.
While his career may be eclipsed by the shadow of his elder brother, Lucius' life is noteworthy in several respects.
==Early career==
Lucius and his brother both became aediles at a very young age; Publius became curule aedile in 214 or 213 BC, but Lucius's aedileship is undated.
Lucius served under his brother in Spain, and in 208 BC took a town on his own. He was sent to the Senate with the news of the victory in the Spanish war, c. 206 BC.〔Smith is unclear as to which war: "on the completion of the war was sent by his brother to Rome, with the joyful news."〕 In 193 BC, he was elected praetor, with Sicily as his province, with the influence of his brother; however, Publius' declining influence was not sufficient to get him elected consul in 191 BC.
