Ok, so for some reason this ruler, mint, denomination or collection does not have a description yet - oops!
There are two possible explanations for this:
No description has been written yet
The property is incorrectly named
If the former, patience is key - this site covers thousands of entities, and all must have a manually created description written.
If the latter, try renaming the property - 'Domitian as Caesar' has no description, but 'Domitian' does.

Scipio Africanus - Victory over Hannibal.
Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus (235–183 BC), also known as Scipio Africanus and Scipio the Elder, was a general in the Second Punic War and statesman of the Roman Republic. He was best known for defeating Hannibal at the final battle of the Second Punic War at Zama, a feat that earned him theagnomen Africanus, the nickname "the Roman Hannibal", as well as recognition as one of the finest commanders in military history.
