Someone needs to start a Journal of Ancient Acrostics so everybody churning out these notes called "A Possible New Acrostic in Nemesianus" or "Three New Telestichs in Silius Italicus" can publish there and the rest of us can just mute them.

There's a wonderful article by an old German scholar named Hilberg (WS 1899) who went through the trouble to read all of classical Latin poetry looking for accidental acrostics, which he then dutifully alphabetized and catalogued in 40 pages of tiny print.
