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.
