More about the book
Set during the Second Punic War, this epic poem by Silius Italicus recounts the fierce conflict between Hannibal and Rome in approximately 12,000 dactylic hexameter verses. The translation by Thomas Ross, first published in 1666, was created to commemorate the monarchy's restoration. This newly typeset edition marks the first reprint since Ross's time, offering readers a chance to explore the historical and literary significance of this lengthy Latin work, which captures key events from Hannibal's oath to Scipio's decisive victory at Zama.
