Engraving, part of a set of 12 small, oval prints of varied subjects, representing scenes of Ancient Roman history or mythology, created by Étienne Delaune before 1573. This print depicts Scipion, sitting on the left, a man, kneeling in front of Scipion, presenting two ewers with a ransom to him, and two soldiers standing behind him on the right. Watching the scene, in the center, are another soldier and a young Spanish woman, who has been brought in booty.
