• Notes on the pietas of M. Vitorius Marcellus in Silv. 4.praef. and Silv. 4.4 were meant to allay Domitian's fear of his ambition. In Silv. 5.2, Statius seems to suggest that Vettius Crispinus' mother set out to poison him to secure his inheritance.

• Sil. 4.1 plays with the notions of history, time, and historical writing. The poem is also part of a larger project in the book to rework different literary genres as short occasional poems. The poet also subverts Domitian, a theme that runs through the book.

4.2Hulls, Jean-Michel, "Raising one's standards? Domitian as model in Ammianus 14.1.10," AClass 51 (2008): 117-24
• Ammianus describes Gallus at 14.1.10 as "raising the standards of his obstinacy". The unusual phrase is framed by a double allusion to Aen. 2.304-307 and 2.496-499 and must be a reference to a description of the emperor Domitian at Statius S. 4.2. Whereas Ammianus' normal practice in alluding to Statius is to use him simply as a repository of arresting phraseology, here he makes a more pronounced political point through intertextual allusion.

• "The stupefying flattery of Statius (Silv. 4.2) makes Domitian's palatial dining room ceiling into an image of the vault of heaven. Heaven itself by now is alleged to have coffers,... Manilius (Astr. 1.532-6) [proves] it. Looking upwards, in the tradition of Thales and Socrates, might be dangerous, but it was the philosophical pose, the admired posture from Plato onwards. The wealthy homeowners who commissioned handsome floor mosaics and painted ceilings, O'Sullivan suggests, conceived them as facilitating philosophical thinking while they simultaneously served as symbols of moral decline. They succeeded in having and eating their cakes" (from Lateiner's review). • Review: Lateiner, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.08.13

• Although some have seen Silv 4.3 asanti-Domitianic, it is not. It combines themes of Domitianic propaganda with a description the construction of the road. "Emphasis is on the poem's encomium of Domitian's rule, phrased by the poet, the river-god Vulturnus, and the Cumaean Sibyl in a scene influenced by Virgil, Aen. 6 and Ecl. 4."

• On how Statius situates himself and his poetry amid the social complexities of Domitianic Rome. Silv. 3.5 and 4.5 offer carefully-constructed recusationes that expose Statius' deep ambivalence toward his public poetic role as a writer of epic and panegyric, and his persona in these poems is analogous to that of Horace in his first book of Epistles. Though Statius desires public reknown and in 4.4 shows how his public and private poetry are interconnected in a complex manner, his essentially private nature precludes his taking on the most public and potentially-dangerous topic of epic song: Domitian.

• Silv. 3.5 and 4.4 and Pliny (Ep. 6.16 and 6.20) used the epistolary form instead of epic to create a consoling perspective. Both poets largely avoid the themes of portents and the anger of the gods and blur the boundaries between poetry and history, fiction and plain-speaking. In contrast, Martial 4.44 uses the Hellenistic genre of epideictic epigram.

• Statius makes use of Horatian forms and motifs, such as the simple house in the country and the literary help of a friend, but his tone is fervent and sincere, rather than dry and ironic. Statius is also fully aware of Horace's generic choices, but makes different choices for his own work with no apparent anxiety. With many literary allusions, the poor and humble poet praises the wealth and public accomplishments of Septimius Severus and Vibius Maximus, and at the same time shows how like-minded they are in their attitudes to literature, friendship, and wealth.

4.7Nagle, R., "Statius' Horatian Lyrics, Silvae 4.5 and 4.7," The Classical World 102.2 (2009): 143-57
• Statius makes use of Horatian forms and motifs, such as the simple house in the country and the literary help of a friend, but his tone is fervent and sincere, rather than dry and ironic. Statius is also fully aware of Horace's generic choices, but makes different choices for his own work with no apparent anxiety. With many literary allusions, the poor and humble poet praises the wealth and public accomplishments of Septimius Severus and Vibius Maximus, and at the same time shows how like-minded they are in their attitudes to literature, friendship, and wealth.

• Silv. 3.5 and 4.4 and Pliny (Ep. 6.16 and 6.20) used the epistolary form instead of epic to create a consoling perspective. Both poets largely avoid the themes of portents and the anger of the gods and blur the boundaries between poetry and history, fiction and plain-speaking. In contrast, Martial 4.44 uses the Hellenistic genre of epideictic epigram.
