Ancient Romes longest epic.Silius Italicus (T. Catius, AD 25101), was consul in 68 and governor of the province of Asia in 69; he sought no further office but lived thereafter on his estates as a literary man and collector. He revered the work of Cicero, whose Tusculan villa he owned, and that of Virgil, whose tomb at Naples he likewise owned and near which he lived. His epic Punica, in seventeen books, on the second War with Carthage (218202 BC), is based for facts largely on Livys account. Conceived as a contrast between two great nations (and their supporting gods), championed by the two great heroes Scipio and Hannibal, his poem is written in pure Latin and smooth verse filled throughout with echoes of Virgil above all (and other poets); it exploits with easy grace, but little genius, all the devices and techniques of traditional Latin epic.The Loeb Classical Library edition of Silius Italicus is in two volumes.

I recently bought this book, expecting a bit more narrative flow. While the content is rich and the translation is decent, I found some parts tough to get through. The footnotes are useful, but the reading experience is somewhat uneven. Still worth having in the library if you enjoy classics!

A Must-Have for Classical Literature Fans
I picked up 'Punica, Volume I' from the Loeb Classical Library series and it's fantastic! The translation is clear and the notes are super helpful for understanding the context. Really impressed with the quality of the binding too; it feels durable. Perfect for my collection!
