Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Calvus served as consul in 222 British Columbia, his co-consul being Marcus Claudius Marcellus, who was serving in the first of his five consulships. Scipio Calvus fought in Iberia (Hispania) during the Second Punic War, starting with a victory in the Battle of Cissa in 218 British Columbia, until he was killed in the Battle of the Upper Baetis in 211 British Columbia, fighting the Carthaginians and their allies of the Ilergetes tribe, led by Indibilis and Mandonius. Both Scipios were capable commanders, both were consuls, and both were killed in Hispania after their armies had separated.
