Ufens is a character in Virgil's The Aeneid as well as Silius' Punica. According to The Aeneid:

{{poemquote|Next Ufens, mountain-bred, from Nersae came

to join the war; of goodly fame was he

for prosperous arms: his Aequian people show

no gentle mien, but scour the woods for prey,

or, ever-armed, across the stubborn glebe

compel the plough; though their chief pride and joy

are rapine, violence, and plundered store."Aeneid 744-50.}}

In The Aeneid 12.460, Gyas beheads Ufens.
