P. Cornelius Scipio, cui deleta Carthago avitum cognomen dedit, consul in Hispaniam missus, ut insolentissimos Numantinae urbis spiritus superiorum ducum culpa nutritos contunderet, eodem momento temporis quo castra intravit, edixit ut omnia ex iis quae voluptatis causa comparata erant auferrentur ac summoverentur: nam constat tum maximum inde institorum et lixarum numerum cum duobus milibus scortorum abisse.
P. Cornelius Scipio, to whom the destruction of Carthage gave his grandfathers surname, was sent to Spain as Consul to beat down the insolent pride of the city of Numantia, nourished by the fault of previous commanders. The moment he entered the camp he issued orders that all items assembled for pleasure be taken away and removed. For it is established that a great number of pedlars and sutlers then left the spot along with two thousand prostitutes.
