Silius Italicus: De bello punico

This important manuscript was dismembered in the 18th century. The only important leaf that remains in the codex is folio 3, the frontispiece to the text, which is attributed to Zanobi Strozzi. Of the leaves that were removed, one was recovered and reunited with the manuscript. Its illustration is the work of Pesellino, it shows Mars on a two-wheeled chariot. Pesellino is thought to have executed the other miniatures that are now lost.
