Cultural Memory in Republican and Augustan Rome
Creating Roman Memories of Plautus
While researching the significance of the various ways in which Latin speakers interpreted the phenomenon of grammatical gender, I spent a substantial amount of time examining ancient Roman scholars, in particular the Latin grammarians. 1 Even a cursory reading of the accounts that these scholars have compiled about the masculine, feminine, and neuter soon reveals how they credit different poets with varying degrees of authority in the use and tr…

Cicero, De haruspicum responsis
Physical Excess as a Marker of Genre in the Elder Seneca
This chapter stems from the observation that physical eloquence is often relegated to lesser importance than its linguistic counterpart in Senecan declamation, especially when compared to the wealth of information we have on Cicero’s use of gesture. However, actio remains a pivotal element of Roman declamation. To draw attention to this element, this chapter outlines several types of bodily movement and vocal modulation which Seneca attributes to…

Sexing the World: Grammatical Gender and Biological Sex in Ancient Rome
Androgynous Gods in Archaic Rome
This chapter examines the role of grammatical gender in daily religious experience by focusing on androgynous gods in ancient Rome. It shows that the grammatical gender of a god's name matches the perceived sex of its imagined incarnation. This observation is extended to an analysis of the indigetes , a set of minor deities who seem to have ruled every aspect of daily life, and to whom the Romans appealed, in particular at significant transitiona…
Poetic Play with Sex and Gender
This chapter examines selected instances of grammatical gender-bending that occur in extant poetic texts, for most of which instances scholars both ancient and modern have largely chosen not to offer explanations. The passages chosen are meant to demonstrate the potential range of approaches that the poets could apply to the manipulation of grammatical gender. The chapter begins with a survey of visual evidence from antiquity to demonstrate that,…
The Prodigious Hermaphrodite
This chapter examines the change in attitudes toward the human hermaphrodite that extant texts depict as occurring in the transition between the periods of the late Roman Republic and early Roman Empire. It first considers Greek approaches to androgyny before explaining how the human hermaphrodite differed from other prodigies. It suggests that the slippery nature of their sexuality placed the hermaphrodites in the category of the religious sacre…
Sexing the World: Grammatical Gender and Biological Sex in Ancient Rome
From the moment a child in ancient Rome began to speak Latin, the surrounding world became populated with objects possessing grammatical gender—masculine eyes ( oculi ), feminine trees ( arbores ), neuter bodies ( corpora ). This book surveys the many ways in which grammatical gender enabled Latin speakers to organize aspects of their society into sexual categories, and how this identification of grammatical gender with biological sex affected Ro…

Nature Embodied: Gesture in Ancient Rome
Bodily gesture. A Roman worshipper spins in a circle in front of a temple. Faced with death, a Roman woman tears her hair and beats her breasts. Enthusiastic spectators at a gladiatorial event gesticulate with thumbs. Examining the tantalizing glimpses of ancient bodies offered by surviving Roman sculptures, paintings, and literary texts, Anthony Corbeill analyzes the role of gesture in medical and religious ritual, in the gladiatorial arena, in …
Rhetorical Education in Cicero’s Youth
Twenty-five years after his speech for Sextus Roscius, Cicero composed On the Orator , a dialogue that takes place, in 91 E.C.E., a date not long before young Cicero and the Auctor venture on their own treatises. In this dialogue, the recognition that philosophical training and political authority must learn to coincide finds its fullest expression in the mature Cicero's representation of Crassus. Crassus claims to have neither the desire nor suf…

Education in the Raman Republic: Creating Traditions
Like many Ciceronian dialogues, On the Republic presents a Greek legacy overlaid with Roman ideas. Employing recent scholarship, the author challenges Marrou's account by arguing that the Romans of the Republic did not so much adopt the Hellenistic model of education as naturalize it, absorbing the attractive aspects into their own developing society while discarding those less pleasing. This chapter concentrates on who did the teachings, who was…
