The paper gives an overview of references to antiquarian subjects in Statius' Silvae, Book 1: aspects of Roman religion and ritual; allusions to ancient history and custom; verbal choices hinting at specific usages in archaic Latin. Statius' knowledge of Roman antiquarian lore contributes to the encomiastic characterization of Italian laudandi and landscapes, enhancing the rhetorical construction of ethical models as well as literary spaces.

Abstract
The paper gives an overview of references to antiquarian subjects in Statius' Silvae, Book 1: aspects of Roman religion and ritual; allusions to ancient history and custom; verbal choices hinting at specific usages in archaic Latin. Statius' knowledge of Roman antiquarian lore contributes to the encomiastic characterization of Italian laudandi and landscapes, enhancing the rhetorical construction of ethical models as well as literary spaces.
