78. The Battle of the Bagradas: Curio’s Last Stand

78. The Battle of the Bagradas: Curio’s Last Stand

Gaius Scribonius Curio marches against the approaching Numidian army. Finding success, he presses his luck and pursues his foe… only to be led into a trap. With the Numidians surrounding them, Curio and his army are forced to make a desperate last stand. Meanwhile, the rest of the army is now eager to flee Africa. But the available ships do not have room for everyone, and soon chaos breaks out as no soldier wants to be left behind. We end with a discussion of Curio’s legacy and the view our ancient sources took on him. Lucan delivers his verdict with a hammer blow.
