Together with Syphax he was twice defeated by Scipio, who had landed in Africa in 204. The condemnation to death pro- nounced against him by the irritated people, which did not deter him from continuing in arms against the enemies of his country, was reversed after the arrival of Hannibal.

Further resistance being im- possible, he secretly went over to the camp of Scipio to implore his mercy. The conqueror spared his life, but showed him to the deserted defenders of the temple, and he saw his wife throw her children and then herself into the flames of the burning edifice. Having adorned the triumph of Scipio, he spent the remainder of his life as a captive in Italy. BASE, Karl August, a German theologian, born at Steinbach, Saxony, Aug. 25, 1800.
