Death
Eventually the prolonged conflict between political parties would catch up to Nasica, and the senate would send him away to Pergamon on a mission. This was unusual as a Pontifex Maximus would never normally be sent away from Rome. He would later die there in Pergamon, allegedly at the hands of some of Gracchus’ supporters.
Scipio Nasica Serapio was succeeded by his son who would become consul in 111 BC.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“You stars that reigned at my nativity,
Whose influence hath allotted death and hell.”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
“Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death M even death on a cross.”
—Bible: New Testament, Philippians 2:5-8.
