ABSTRACT
We are more fortunate in possessing Valerius’ account of Scipio at the feast of Jupiter (epulum Iouis; 4.2.3). At the instigation of the senate, Scipio dines at the epulum Iouis10 with Tiberius Gracchus11 (father of the brothers Gracchi), and not only becomes reconciled to Gracchus, but even betroths his daughter to him.
