    Description

    This is an original sculpture created Sergey Eylanbekov. In excellent condition.
    This is an interpretation of how Publius Cornelius Scipio would have looked like. Ancient busts are known, but damaged, and later Baroque examples are also known.
    Publius Cornelius Scipio was
    a Roman general and statesman, most notable as one of the main architects of Rome's victory against
    Carthage
    in the
    Second Punic War
    . Often regarded as one of the best military commanders and strategists of all time, his greatest military achievement was the defeat of
    Hannibal
    at the
    Battle of Zama
    in 202 BC. This victory in Africa earned him the epithet
    Africanus
    , literally meaning “the African,” but meant to be understood as a conqueror of
    Africa
    . (Source: Wikipedia)
