This study proposes a preliminary assessment of a Geographical Information Systems (GIS)-based tool for the evaluation of the overall energy demand as well as for the estimation of the potential that renewable energy production strategies possess with respect to existing urban neighborhoods.
In the prefaces to the individual books of the Silvae, Statius asks to be forgiven for the boldness of his compositions, which he claims to have been written in one go and very quickly. A comparison between these claims and rhetorical teaching, especially that of Quintilian, makes clear that the shortcomings for which Statius apologises should be identified with the arrangement of the topics rather than with the metrical and stylistic features of his verses.
