A comparative study of Valerius Fìaccus'Argonautica and Silius Italicus'Pi/mca reveals several similitudes between the two poets. All these clues are likely to suggest that Silius sometimes took hints from Valerius, especially concerning the images of storms and fights, and also in episodes such as the collective suicides of the Sagontines and of the Capuans. This imitatio is attended by aemulatio, founded on hyperbole, descriptive outbidding, and contamination with other sources. It implies that Silius knew, at least partially, the Argonautica when he began to write the Punica about 80 A. C, and consequently, that Valerius began his own epic between 70 and 76 A.
