Caji Silii Italici Punica is a historical epic poem in Latin, recounting the events of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage.

The poem is celebrated for its vivid descriptions of battles, its exploration of the characters of Roman and Carthaginian leaders, and its insights into the political and military strategies of the time.Silius Italicus draws upon historical sources and his own poetic license to create a compelling narrative, making 'Punica' a significant work for understanding Roman perceptions of their own history and their adversaries.
