The Nasica of Pydna and of 'Carthage must be spared' — one bearer of a cognomen three generations deep, told apart here by the tradition's standard identification.

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

Plutarch sets him apart himself: Scipio surnamed Nasica, son-in-law of Africanus. secure

Scipio, surnamed Nasica, a son-in-law of Scipio Africanus, and afterwards of the greatest influence in the senate, was first to offer himself as leader of the enveloping force. Plut. Aemilius Paulus 15 Aemilius Paulus · Plutarch

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

Nasica is a dynasty, not a man: the record holds at least three. conventional The cognomen passes from the 'best man' of 204 (Liv. 29.14) to Corculum to Serapio, who led the mob against Tiberius Gracchus. The extract-v1 drawer 'nasica' (26 mentions) holds them undivided; this row is the middle bearer, and the desk says so rather than pretending one man. the other man: Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus

The career — offices and deeds as the record states them

At Pydna he leads the flanking force; against Cato he votes that Carthage must stand. conventional

Publius Scipio Nasica, on the contrary, when called upon for his vote, always ended his speech with this declaration: In my opinion, Carthage must be spared. Plut. Marcus Cato 27 Marcus Cato · Plutarch

The identification of Cato's opponent with Corculum is the tradition's, adopted and labeled conventional; some scholars have given the vote to his son Serapio. the deed: destruction of Carthage

The authorities — the registers cited page-anchored, never reprinted

Smith's SCIPIO article: the cognomen Nasica, 'Scipio with the pointed nose'. secure

P. Cornelius Scipio Nasica, that is, " Scipio with the pointed nose," was the son of Cn. Scipio Calvus, who fell in Spain in b. c. 211. Smith, Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, vol. III, p. 751 cited, never reprinted — the apparatus shelf

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. Smith's Dictionary stands referee meanwhile, page-anchored.
