Is the punica really the longest work in Latin —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.7.249 (talkcontribs) 18:25, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Working on this article

[edit]

I am working on repairing this article and the poor work on the Punica page, citing sources and whatnot.Jdf8 (talk) 23:10, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Silius Italicus ? He was born at Patavium (Padua)

[edit]

Sources:

Caius?

[edit]

If his name was Tiberius Catius Asconius Silius Italicus, as the article tells us, why is he so often referred to as Caius Silius Italicus, as, for example, at Project Gutenberg? Could the reason perhaps be explained in the article? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:46, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No information about his family?

[edit]

I know the ancient Romans tended to be very taciturn about their personal lives, but I expect there is information about whom he married & his children. It appears that one of the suffect consuls of 96, Tiberius Catius Caesius Fronto, was his son, & there may have been as many as two more sons. -- llywrch (talk) 06:58, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
