The History of Rome, Books 37 to the End

Book XXXVII

_Lucius Cornelius Scipio the consul, having as lieutenant Publius
Scipio Africanus, (who had declared that he would be his brother’s
lieutenant if the province of Greece was decreed to him, when that
province appeared likely to be assigned to Caius Lælius, who had
great influence in the senate,) set out to wage war against
Antiochus, and was the first Roman general that ever passed over
into Asia. Æmilius Regillus, with the assistance of the Rhodians,
fought successfully against the royal fleet of Antiochus at
Myonnesus. The son of Africanus, having been taken by Antiochus,
was sent back to his father. Manius Acilius Glabrio triumphed over
Antiochus, whom he had driven out of Greece, and over the Ætolians.
Antiochus being subsequently conquered by Lucius Cornelius Scipio,
with the aid of Eumenes, son of Attalus, and king of Pergamus,
peace was granted to him on these terms—that he should evacuate all
the provinces on this side Mount Taurus. The kingdom of Eumenes,
through whose assistance Antiochus had been conquered, was
enlarged. Some states were granted to the Rhodians too, who also
had assisted them. The colony of Bononia was founded. Æmilius
Regillus, who had conquered the admirals of Antiochus in a naval
engagement, triumphed. Lucius Cornelius Scipio, who had brought the
war with Antiochus to a conclusion, was called Asiaticus, attaining
to an equality with his brother by this surname._
