Ennius Beyond Epic
Spectacles and Games Prior to the Emergence of “Roman Drama”
In the period roughly between the fifth and third centuries BCE, Italy saw a diverse range of public performance types and traditions, all of which were in different ways precursors of the main forms of dramatic performance known for Rome. This chapter covers performances of Greek characters in Italy and Sicily, as well as the traditions among the Etruscans, Oscans, and other peoples in Italy (notably the fabulae Atellanae and Rhinthonica). Such …
Cicero and Early Dramatic Latin
Cicero is well known to provide information about early Roman drama through his frequent references to performances, biographical details and characteristics of playwrights, motifs in dramas, language and style. Most of these comments are integrated into a specific context and therefore reflect Cicero’s argumentative aim. Yet, at the same time, they reveal insights into the nature of Roman Republican drama and its assessment in Cicero’s time. Thi…

Reviving Cicero in Drama: From the Ancient World to the Modern Stage
Reviving Cicero in Drama: From the Ancient World to the Modern Stage
The influence of Cicero is everywhere to be found. His rhetorical and philosophical writings have made an inescapable impact on the history of Western culture. He impressed figures such as Augustine, Jerome, Petrarch, Erasmus, Martin Luther, John Locke, David Hume, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Cicero’s wide appeal means that he is becoming a popular subject in classical reception studies. But no study has yet offered a comprehensive overview …

Roman Drama and its Contexts
Roman plays have been well studied individually (even including fragmentary or spurious ones more recently). However, they have not always been placed into their ‘context’, though plays (just like items in other literary genres) benefit from being seen in context. This edited collection aims to address this issue: it includes 33 contributions by an international team of scholars, discussing single plays or Roman dramatic genres (including comedy,…
Livius Andronicus
Livius Andronicus (ca. 280/70–ca. 200 bce ) is regarded as Rome's first poet, a pioneer who introduced the literary genres of epic, tragedy, and comedy in Latin to Rome. By transposing works of these genres from Greek into Latin he provided the foundations for the development of a literature in Latin. Despite this achievement, his writings were later regarded as unsophisticated; this may be one reason why they only survive in fragments.
Editing Roman (Republican) Tragedy: Challenges and Possible Solutions
Oratory on the Stage in Republican Rome
Scholars have long noted the affinity between drama and oratory. Yet attempts to examine early Roman drama for the light it sheds on the development of rhetorical conventions and practice are few. Consequently, this chapter presents and analyses the evidence found in the fragments of early Roman Republican drama; at the same time, it compares and contrasts select passages with their Greek models. While a partial explanation for early drama's rhet…

Tragedy, Latin
The dramatic genre of Roman tragedy denotes serious plays (in Latin) on Greek myths. As ancient grammarians confirm, these dramas differ from comic genres by the elevated status of their protagonists and the gravity of their action and from the Roman genre of historical drama ( fabula praetexta ) by their subject matter, taken from Greek mythology.
Lucilius, Gaius
C. Lucilius (d. 103/2 BCE ; date of birth debated: 180–148 BCE ) is generally regarded as the originator of Roman verse Satire (cf., e.g., Quint. Inst . 10.1.93).
The speeches to the People in Cicero’s oratorical corpora
This paper discusses the function of speeches given by Cicero to the popular assembly (contio) as reports about recent political events or decrees. Several of the few extant examples are part of oratorical corpora consisting of speeches from politically difficult periods, namely from Cicero’s consular year (63 BCE; Catilinarians) and from his fight against Mark Antony (44–43 BCE; Philippics). Cicero is shown to have applied his oratorical abiliti…

Ciceronian praise as a step towards Pliny's Panegyricus
The Panegyricus is rightly regarded as an important specimen of early imperial panegyric: it is frequently singled out as a special text, defined as the only extant oration from ancient Rome between Cicero's Philippics and the imperial panegyrics of the third and fourth centuries. As it is the only surviving example of a panegyric oration from the early empire, it is sometimes even seen as inaugurating a new literary genre in that this speech bec…
Pliny's Praise: The Panegyricus in the Roman World
Pliny's Panegyricus (AD 100) survives as a unique example of senatorial rhetoric from the early Roman Empire. It offers an eyewitness account of the last years of Domitian's principate, the reign of Nerva and Trajan's early years, and it communicates a detailed senatorial view on the behaviour expected of an emperor. It is an important document in the development of the ideals of imperial leadership, but it also contributes greatly to our underst…

Cicero, "Philippics" 3-9: Edited with Introduction, Translation and Commentary. Volume 1: Introduction, Text and Translation, References and Indexes. Volume 2: Commentary
The Philippics form the climax of Cicero’s rhetorical achievement and political activity. Besides, these fourteen speeches are an important testimony to the critical final phase of the Roman Republic. Yet for a long time they have received little scholarly attention. This two-volume edition now provides a comprehensive scholarly commentary on Philippics 3-9, seven central speeches of the corpus. Full annotations explain the speeches in terms of l…

What Do Humans Get to Know about the Gods and Their Plans? On Prophecies and Their Deficiencies in Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica
This article discusses aspects of the communication between gods and humans in Valerius Flaccus' Flavian epic Argonautica by focusing on the situation of Jason and the Argonauts as well as on the Phineus episode in the fourth Book: although the gods in this poem, and Jupiter in particular, have specific plans for the fate of humans and the development of world history, they do not want humans to know those. As humans therefore receive only scatte…
History in Pictures: Commemorative Ecphrases in Silius Italicus' Punica
Most ecphrases in Silius Italicus' "Punica" represent not mythological stories but earlier incidents in the histories of Rome and Carthage; these passages thus form an additional narrative layer of their own. In developing the techniques of his epic predecessors, Silius Italicus makes it clear by these scenes that works of art, just as works of literature, may serve to record history and to disseminate a particular view of the past.

Two Johnstons on Glasgow: Examples of Scottish Neo-Latin encomia urbis
This article looks at two Neo-Latin poems on Glasgow (texts given in Appendix I), by John Johnston (publ. 1607) and Arthur Johnston (publ. 1642), respectively, as examples of the genre of the city poem and of Scottish Neo-Latin poetry. Both poems exemplify the interest in national history and other characteristics typical of the time as well as a style of writing based on a thorough classical education. Nevertheless, it can be shown that there ar…

Roman Republican Theatre
Theatre flourished in the Roman Republic, from the tragedies of Ennius and Pacuvius to the comedies of Plautus and Terence and the mimes of Laberius. Yet apart from the surviving plays of Plautus and Terence the sources are fragmentary and difficult to interpret and contextualise. This book provides a comprehensive history of all aspects of the topic, incorporating recent findings and modern approaches. It discusses the origins of Roman drama and…
