Thanks for the heads up. I am endeavouring to keep focused, but you`re right I shouldn`t speculate too much.
But on the other hand, if the only alternative is a blind acceptance of all that is contained in Polybius` account of the campaign (which btw I find elsewhere), then I think I`ll continue to look for other interpretations to the events and to the roles of the other military tribunes who were also in Scipio`s army.
Yes, I had noticed that link too between Minucius Thermus and Alimentus` family after you had recommended me to look at the Gallic war.
