The fall of Nero and the civil wars of 69 CE ushered in an era
scarred by the recent conflicts; Flavian literature also inherited
a rich tradition of narrating nefas from its predecessors who had
confronted and commemorated the traumas of Pharsalus and Actium.
Despite the present surge of scholarly interest in both Flavian
literary studies and Roman civil war literature, however, the
Flavian contribution to Rome's literature of bellum ciuile remains
understudied. This volume shines a spotlight on these neglected
voices. In the wake of 69 CE, writing civil war became an
inescapable project for Flavian Rome: from Statius's fraternas
acies and Silius's suicidal Saguntines to the internecine
narratives detailed in Josephus's Bellum Iudaicum and woven into
Frontinus's exempla, Flavian authors' preoccupation with civil war
transcends genre and subject matter. This book provides an
important new chapter in the study of Roman civil war literature by
investigating the multi-faceted Flavian response to this persistent
and prominent theme.
