comment
sarcophagus, »L. Cornelius Scipio. Aus den Scipionengräbern stammt eine Platte, die den Namen L. Cornelius Cn. f. Cn. n. Scipio und ein Gedicht in Saturniern enthält, demzufolge dieser Mann zu vielen Hoffnungen berechtigte, aber noch ehe er ein Amt erlangt hatte, im Alter von 20 Jahren starb (CIL I 34 = VI 1289 = Dessau 7 = Bücheler Carm. Lat. epigr. I 9 p. 7f.). Wegen der Filiation kann er für einen jüngeren Sohn von Nr. 346 gehalten werden, doch auch für einen Enkel desselben und Sohn von Nr. 347 (vgl. [1434] Mommsen zu CIL I 34). Die Wortspiele und sonstigen künstlichen Formen des Gedichts empfehlen die Ansetzung um 600 = 154, was besser zu der ersten Annahme passt (vgl. zur Erklärung Wölfflin S.-Ber. Akad. Münch. 1892, 199–202. 216–218. Bücheler a. O.).« [RE Cornelius 326]
»I would add that if the deceased was indeed a son of Cn. Cornelius Cn.f. L.n. Hispallus (pr. per. 179, cos. 176; RE Cornelius 346) and hence a brother of Cn. Cornelius Cn.f. Cn.n. Hispanus (pr. per. 139; RE Cornelius 347), his filiation indicates that he was probably a younger brother of Cn. Cornelius Cn.f. Cn.n. Hispanus, whose praetorship in 139 sets a terminus post quem non of 179 for his birth. Their father died in his consulate after he was injured at the Feriae Latinae in April of 176, so the consular year 176 is the latest possible year for the birth of any of his sons. Hence it's likely that this young man was born between 180 and 176 BC, and his death can be dated 20 years later between 160 and 155 BC, allowing for the possibility that he was born in the last several months of 176 and had not yet celebrated his 21st birthday when he died.« [John D. Morgan III]
