About This Item
1628 Silius Italicus PUNICA Second Punic War Rome Epic Latin Poetry Jansson
The only surviving book of the epic Roman poet Silius Italicus is 'Punica', a fascinating work on the Second Punic War. First written during the late 1st-century, 'Punica' seems to have been modeled after Virgil, Livy, and Homer and follows General Hannibal of Carthage and his military endeavors. Italicus was known for his stoic influence and focuses on concepts such as emotion, reason, and destiny, through the lens of a historical recounting of Roman military leaders Hannibal and Scipio.
This miniature 1628 edition was published in Amsterdam by Jansson with an engraved title page.
