The force of example was a distinctive determiner of Roman identity. In this study of the representation of certain central characters in Silius Italicus' Punica, Ben Tipping considers the virtues and vices they embody, their status as exemplars, and the process by which Silius as epic poet heroizes, demonizes, and establishes models. INDICE: 1: Exordium; 2: Perspective and Paradigm; 3: Hannibal; 4: Fabius Maximus Cunctator; 5: Scipio Africanus Maior; 6: Upending
