Descrizione

A new exam of the problems about the publication date of Pliny’s Panegyric leads us to identify as terminus ante quem the first triumph of Trajan over the Dacians (December 102). Pliny indeed in paneg. 46, a chapter dedicated to pantomimes, seems to ignore that these shows, initially banned by Trajan, were reintroduced in Rome just during this triumph (cfr. Cass. Dio LXVIII 10, 2). Thus, a publication in 101 (the stronger hypothesis) is corroborated and the possibility of a publication after 107 (perhaps in 109-110) recently argued through intertextual parallels is instead weakened.
