Paullus, as the first two sons of L. Aemilius L. f. M. n. Paullus (cos.182, 168). What is on record, however, is that he was adopted by P. Cornelius Scipio
Africanus the augur (the homonymous eldest son of the first Scipio to be called Africanus), and hence his name after the adoption was P. Cornelius Scipio Africanus Aemilianus, which could be abbreviated as the "Aemilian Scipio", or "Aemilian Scipio Africanus", but he was certainly NOT Scipio Aemilianus Afircanus, as he is named in this article. Please change it whoever has the control of these things. It is an embarassment.

been doing some reading on this and Astin (A. E. Astin "Scipio
Aemilianus", Oxford, 1967) includes a persuasive Appendix ("Scipio's Tears At Carthage") that argues that they were probably not tears of remorse. He concludes, "That Scipio was genuinely moved may be agreed without hesitation, as also that, doubltess amid a welter of emotions, of pride and triumph, or relief and joy, he felt sadness at the reminder that sooner or later all earthly things must pass . . ."

This is a very good essay on Scipio. I'm not happy with the sentence about Scipio's repentance being tardy. Two things: it wasn't Scipio's decision to annihilate
Carthage (in fact the Senate sent a committee of ten to oversee the process); Polybius explicitly says it was not a repentance. I've just
1017:
Agreed. He would have been considered the legally-recognized son of Scipio
Africanus the Augur, and his previous cognomen would have been an afterthought. The same premise can be seen in Augustus' case. He became "Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus" following his adoption by the assassinated dictator,
1002:
It is not on record, because he was adopted very young, in his early teens, before he had any public role. According to the strict rules of Roman nomenclature he should have been Marcus
Aemilius Paullus and his elder brother (Q. Fabius Maximus Aemilianus cos.145) would have been Lucius Aemilius

The picture is in fact of a well-known story usually referred to as the "continence of Scipio". It concerns the capture of
Cartago Nuova in Spain, when Scipio was "given" an attractive woman as a prize of war. He returned her to her fiance. It's a popular subject in 16-18th century art.

Scipio's name ended with the title 'Numantius' given to him after the conquest and destruction of
Numantia in North-East Spain. Is it possible that we change the title of the article so his full name is there?

This is incorrect. Scipio's ambiguous answer was that if
Gracchus had striven for the crown, he had been justly slain (see Theodor Mommsen, "The History of Rome", p.100 in the German edition).
