For his descendant of the same name, see Lucius Cornelius Scipio Asiaticus (consul 83 BC).
The so-called "bust of Marius" in the Munich Glyptothek, identified by Filippo Coarelli as that of Asiaticus, originally located on the facade of the Tomb of the Scipios.[1][2]
Lucius Cornelius Scipio Asiaticus (properly Asiagenes;[3] 3rd century BC – after 183 BC) was a general and statesman of the Roman Republic. He was the son of Publius Cornelius Scipio and the younger brother of Scipio Africanus. 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.
Although his career may be eclipsed by the shadow of his elder brother, Lucius' life is noteworthy in several respects.
