    Discussion of a difficult passage of Stat. Silv. 4.4.66 and a new textual proposal.In Silv. 4.4 Statius pays homage to Vitorius Marcellus, the young dedicatee of the poem (for this small but meaningful detail, see Stat. Silv. 4.4.45 iuuenes ... annos; 4.4.74 iuuenemque ... parentem), praising his skills as an orator (4.4.39-45) and foreseeing a brilliant military career for him (4.4.61-4). The last point is highlighted in a brief portrait of Marcellus as a perfect foot soldier and horseman (4.4.64-9)

    «Caesareae domus series». Cesare, Augusto e... Germanico nel Bellum ciuile di Lucano

    No full text
    This paper aims to analyse the influence of Germanicus’ Phaenomena on Lucan’s Bellum Ciuile. After a brief survey on astronomical reminiscences, I focus on sections relating to the dismantling of the Augustan ideology discourse (Lucan. i 143-157 and vii 860-868), where Lucan evokes Germanicus with an interesting antiphrastic attitude. Beneath the surface of Germanicus’ work, light is cast on Lucan’s reception of Augustus’ Res Gestae (especially in Lucan. v 372-373). The last section of the article is devoted to Lucan’s claim of immortality and its literary sources (Lucan ix 980-986): among Virgil, Ennius and Ovid, we can also appreciate the presence of Germanicus’ poetic self-representatio

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
