I read one of this day that Scipio the African said when he destroyed Carthage, "And one day Rome".
Anyone know what ancient historian has reported this?

Yes,it was Polybios.
Re: Quote - Jona Lendering - 06-22-2007
The story is derived from Polybius, but is found in Appian actually: the story is here.
