That it was the Tusculanum and not the Cumanum of Cicero that Silius possessed is an inference from _C.I.L._ xix. 2653, found at Tusculum: 'D.M. Crescenti Silius Italicus Collegium salutarem.' 599. Enn. _Ann._ vii, viii, ix. 600. Sec p. 103. 601. i. 55. 602. iv. 727. 603. viii. 28. 604. x. 349. 605. ix. 484. 606. xvii. 523. 607. iv. 675. 608. xi. 387. 609. ix. 439. 610. ii. 395. 611. xvi. 288. 612. ii. 36. 613. iii. 222 and viii. 356. 614. xiii. 395. 615. e.g. the Funeral Games, the choice of Scipio (xv. 20), the Nekuia. 616. At Nola. 617. Cp. x. 628 'quod ... Laomedontiadum non desperaverit urbi'. The tasteless _Laomedontiadum_ as a learned equivalent for _Romanorum_ is characteristic. Silius has the _Aeneid_ in his mind when he chooses this word: his literary proclivities lead him astray; where he should be most strong he is most feeble. 618. _Vide infra_ for his treatment of Paulus' dead body after Cannae. 619. Trebia, iv. 480-703; Trasimene, v. 1-678; Cannae, ix. l78-x. 578. 620. Mart, vii. 90. 621. See p. 123, note. 622. Bk. vi. 623. xii. 212-67, where the death of Cinyps clad in Paulus' armour is described, are pretty enough, but too frankly an imitation of Vergil to be worth quoting. The simile 247-50 is, however, new and quite picturesque. 624. Sights of Naples, xii. 85; Tides at Pillars of Hercules, iii. 46; Legend of Pan, xiii. 313; Sicily, xiv. 1-50; Fabii, vii. 20; Anna Perenna, viii. 50; Bacchus at Falernum, vii. 102; Trasimenus, v. ad init. 625. See note on p. 13. 626. Plin. _Ep._ i. 13. 627. Mart. vii. 63. 628. On the modern Cerro de Bambola near the Moorish town of El Calatayud. 629. Cp. ix. 52, x. 24, xii. 60. 630. Cp. v. 34. 631. ix. 73. 7. 632. In x. 103. 7, written in 98 A. D., he tells us that it is thirty-four years since he left Spain. 633. iv. 40, xii. 36. 634. He is found rendering poetic homage to Polla, the wife of Lucan, as late as 96 A. D., x. 64, vii. 21-3. For his reverence for the memory of Lucan, cp. i. 61. 7; vii. 21, 22; xiv. 194. 635. Cp. his regrets for the ease of his earlier clienthood and the generosity of the Senecas, xii. 36. 636. ii. 30; cp. 1. 5: is mihi 'dives eris, si causas egeris' inquit. quod peto da, Gai: non peto consilium. 637. Vide his epigrams _passim_. 638. xiii. 42, xiii. 119. Perhaps the gift of Seneca, cp. Friedländer on Mart. i. 105. 639. ix. 18, ix. 97. 7, x. 58. 9. 640. Such is the most plausible interpretation of iii. 95. 5, ix. 97. 5: tribuit quod Caesar uterque ius mihi natorum (uterque, i.e. Titus and Domitian). 641. iii. 95, v. 13, ix. 49, xii. 26. 642. iii. 95. 11, vi. 10. 1. 643. xiii. 4 gives Domitian his title of Germanicus, assumed after war with Chatti in 84; xiv. 34 alludes to peace; no allusion to subsequent wars.
