Nota sul Silio 'politico' negli epigrammi di Marziale / E. Merli. - In: THERSITES. - ISSN 2364-7612. - 11:(2020 Nov 25), pp. 205-217. [10.34679/thersites.vol11]
Abstract:
In Martial’s epigrams Silius Italicus is portrayed as a man of learning, author of the Punica and admirer of Vergil’s works, but also as a public figure and a former consul of Rome. My paper focuses on the epigrams devoted to the ‘political’ Silius, and suggests to relate them mainly to a certain stage in Silius Italicus’ life and to a specific communication strategy
