Jugurthine War
Other classic prose models had less influence on the panegyrics. Pliny's "Panegyricus" model is familiar to the authors of panegyrics 5, 6, 7, 11, and especially 10, in which there are several verbal likenesses. Sallust's "Bellum Catilinae" is echoed in the panegyrics 10 and 12, and his "Jugurthine War" in 6, 5, and 12. Livy seems to have been of some use in panegyric 12 and 8. The panegyrist of 8 must have been familiar with Fronto, whose praise of Marcus Aurelius he mentions, and the panegyrist of 6 seems to have known Tacitus' "Agricola".
