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 & vices they embody, their status as exemplars, & the process by which Silius as epic poet heroizes, demonizes, & establishes models.
