General expectation would have pointed to Scipio Aemilianus, the
conqueror of Numantia and Carthage, and the foremost man at Rome.
He was well-meaning and more than ordinarily able, strict and
austere as a general, and as a citizen uniting Greek culture with
the old Roman simplicity of life. He was full of scorn of the
rabble, and did not scruple to express it. 'Silence,' he cried,
when he was hissed for what he said about his brother-in-law's
death, 'you step-children of Italy!' and when this enraged them
still more, he went on: 'Do you think I shall fear you whom I
brought to Italy in fetters now that you are loose?'
