Laberius produced one of the first mimetic poems, and sought to use mimes for a new purpose; “He made the theater a school of morality and a vehicle for political satire; and… he sprinkled them with cutting epigrams intended to strike the almighty Caesar” (LE Bernard, 1856). Publilius Syrus worked hard to create mimetic poems himself, written in prose, and quickly established himself as a famous performer and actor. He quickly gained fame with his long philosophical work and brilliant performances, and there is a story which states that his fame had reached Rome and attracted the attention of Caesar. After Caesar was elected, he decided to throw a public festival to celebrate. Cesare invited a multitude of loved and well-known authors to the festival, Publilio Siro was one of these. Publilius Siro decided to challenge the other poets of the festival in a competition of wits and surprisingly beat them all, including his role model Laverio. Unfortunately, none of Publilius Siro's complete works have been found, but only sentences and fragments of his poems. This is why La Sententia is used as an in-depth study on the writing style and message of Publilius Siro’
