It's the same principle as that in which, in Britain at any rate, names like 'Caesar' and 'Cicero' are pronounced with a soft 'c'. Interestingly, however, we now pronounce 'Scipio' with a hard 'c', whereas an older generation of classical scholars, such as Howard Scullard and Frank Walbank, elided the 'c' and pronounced it 'Sipio'.
