- Tiberius Sempronius Longus (consul 218 BC)
Tiberius Sempronius Longus ("c." 260 BC – 210 BC) was a Roman consul during the Second Punic War and a contemporary of Publius Cornelius Scipio. In 218 BC, Sempronius was sent to Africa with 160 quinqueremes to gather forces and supplies, while Scipio was sent to Iberia to intercept Hannibal. It was at this time, striking from Lilybaeum, on the island of Sicily, that Sempronius Longus captured Malta from the Carthaginians. [ ] He was succeeded by Gaius Flaminius Nepos and returned to his army at their winter encampment. [Ibid. Book XXI, section 63.]
In 215 BC, Sempronius fought Hanno at Grumentum. Sempronius' army killed 2,000 enemy men and captured 280 more, pushing Hanno out of Lucania back to Bruttium and allowing the towns of Vercellium, Vescellium, and Sicilinum to be recaptured for Rome. [Ibid. Book XXIII, section 37.]
In 194 BC, his son, Tiberius Sempronius Longus, became consul and supervised the migration of Roman colonists in Gaul. [Ibid. Book XXXIV, section 42.]
