“…They view Scipio as a prototype of leaders, such as Caesar and Pompey, who bring an end to the republic and usher in the imperial era with their desire for power and fame; thus Silius is viewed as portraying the gradual evolution of Rome from the mid-republic, with its traditional values already under challenge, to his own day, where even the pretence of such values no longer exists. 223 Tipping maintains that Scipio is an epic superhero 224 but cannot avoid being linked with powerful individuals in republican and imperial Rome (and elsewhere) who subsumed the state to themselves. 225 McIntyre asserts that Silius uses the landscape to convey ambivalence at the assumption of power by personalities, 226 while alluding at the same time to the need for strong leaders to ensure the survival of Rome.…”

“…Cipião Africano, que é reconhecido como representante do princeps, é nessa leitura um modelo ambíguo e negativo, uma vez que representa uma centralização de poder que seria responsável pelo declínio de Roma. São exemplos dessa vertente , para quem o sistema monárquico é na epopeia retratado como potencial para gerar conflitos; Ahl, Davis & Pomeroy (1986), para os quais as estratégias poéticas de Sílio retratam a evolução de um passado romano heroico para a arrogância imperial, de maneira que o poeta não reconcilia seus elementos conflitantes; e Tipping (2010) para quem o modelo de Hércules desestabiliza o status heroico de Cipião, e consequentemente de Domiciano. De maneira oposta, há uma vertente entre os críticos que reconhece na obra a expressão de uma visão mais otimista de Sílio para com seu presente.…”
