"Punicorum Libri Septemdecim" by Tiberius Catius Silius Italicus is a Latin epic poem written between approximately 83-96 AD. Spanning seventeen books and over twelve thousand lines, this monumental work chronicles the Second Punic War through the legendary clash between Hannibal and Scipio Africanus. Drawing inspiration from Virgil, Homer, and Ennius, Silius weaves historical events with divine intervention, creating a bridge between Rome's mythic past and its imperial present. The longest surviving Latin poem from antiquity awaits rediscovery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
