意大利畫家Pompeo Girolamo Batoni 在《Scipione l'Africano 的節制》描 繪了史上最傑出的軍事家之一，非洲征服者Scipione l'Africano在征服西班牙的首戰卡塔赫納戰役（前209年）告捷后，他手下的一些士兵向他贈送了一位在新迦太基 (New Carthage) 俘獲的美麗年輕女子。Scipione l'Africano 告訴士兵們作爲他們的統帥，他不能接受這樣的禮物。並將女孩貞節無損的還給了她的父親。女孩的父母以豐厚的禮物感謝Scipione l'Africano。當得知這個女孩已與年輕的凱爾特比里亞王子Allucio訂婚時，便將女孩父母給他的禮物作為結婚禮物送給了Allucio。 此畫現珍藏于俄羅斯聖彼得堡的艾米塔吉博物館，該博物館是世界上最大的藝術博物館。
《The Continence of Scipio 》 by italian painter Pompeo Batoni, c.1771.( Museo dell'Ermitage a San Pietroburgo)
The painting 《The Continence of Scipio 》by italian painter Pompeo Botoni , describes the siege of the Carthaginian colony of New Carthage in Iberia (modern Cartagena, Spain) in 209 BC, by Roman forces commanded by Publius Cornelius Scipio (who would later become known as Scipio Africanus). Some of Scipio Africanus‘ soldiers presented him with a beautiful young woman captured in New Carthage. The woman turned out to be the fiancée of Celtiberian prince Allucius.When Scipio was informed of her betrothal, he summoned the woman's parents and fiancé, who arrived with treasure that they offered as a ransom. Scipio refused to accept the ransom . The family then offered the treasure as a present; Scipio accepted this, but immediately returned the treasure as a wedding gift from himself. In gratitude, Allucius allied himself with Rome, bringing his tribe's forces to support the Roman armies.
