The first Africanus: the conqueror of Hannibal at Zama, whose name the record's 'scipio' and 'africanus' drawers share with four other men.

Who he is — which bearer of the name; the grounds are named

Livy marks him at the Ticinus: the consul's rescuing son who would end the war. secure

he was rescued by the intervention of his son who was just approaching manhood. l . This was the youth who afterwards won the glory of bringing this war to a close, and gained the Soub1'iquet of Africanus for his splendid victory over Hannibal and the Carthaginians. Liv. 21.46 The History of Rome · Livy

The served Roberts text prints 'Soub1'iquet' — the scan's own reading of 'soubriquet', carried per the honest-OCR law.

How to tell him apart — the record confusing and un-confusing its own names; doors to the other men

Two Scipiones Africani stand in the record; the drawers mix them. secure The elder won the name at Zama; the younger (Aemilianus) inherited it by adoption and earned it again at Carthage. The record's extract-v1 drawers 'scipio' (762 mentions) and 'africanus' (63) hold both men undivided — this row and its counter are the split. the other man: Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus Africanus

The Republic's digital register (DPRR, the Broughton-backed graph at romanrepublic.ac.uk) is the alignment authority this row awaits; its license could not be verified in writing when this wave was curated, so the dprr_uri column stands reserved and empty — an identity convention, not an ingested claim.
