The Embassy of the Three Philosophers to Rome in 155 bc1
This chapter examines the evidence for the embassy of the three philosophers — Carneades, Critolaus, and Diogenes, representing the Academic, Peripatetic, and Stoic traditions respectively — to Rome in 155 bc. The purpose of the envoy was to represent Athens in her negotiations with the Senate and the chapter discusses a range of arguments that they might have deployed to lead to a reduction in the fine imposed on the Athenians. Furthermore, by q…
Rhetoric, Roman
Oratory was part of Roman public life as far back as can be traced: in the Senate's deliberations, in public political meetings ( contiones ), in the law courts, and at ceremonial events (e.g., funeral orations). Publication of speeches began in the third century BCE .
Juvenal and the Delatores
This chapter enquires into the objects of attack in Juvenal's second satire — traditionally called ‘philosophers’, ‘moralists’, or ‘hypocrites’ — and identifies them as élite Romans who prosecuted in the law courts, especially the adultery court recently revived by Domitian. Juvenal's attack is seen within the tradition of hostility to prosecutors (delatores) in Graeco-Roman culture, in general, and in other literature of the period (Martial, Pli…
Hyperbaton and register in Cicero
INTRODUCTION ‘Hyperbaton’ is the name given, originally by rhetoricians, to the phenomenon in both Latin and Greek word order whereby words that are or seem to be syntactically connected (e.g. a noun and an adjective which agrees with it) occur some distance apart, separated by other words that are in grammatical terms less closely connected. A convenient example is given at Rhetorica ad Herennium 4.44: instabilis in istum plurimum fortuna valuit…

Oxford Classical Texts
This volume presents new texts of Cicero's dialogues on political philosophy, De Re Publica and De Legibus, together with corrected versions of the editor's previously published editions of Cato Maior de Senectute and Laelius de Amicitia. The texts are based on a full reconsideration of the manuscript evidence.
Cicero the advocate
Cicero's courtroom speeches are the most significant examples we have of the art of the ancient Roman advocate. This book takes the speeches seriously as examples of advocacy designed to secure a verdict, aiming to set them in context of the Roman legal system, and to compare their methods with those of modern advocates.

Friendship and its Problems in Greek and Roman Thought
It is easy to get the impression that the ancient Greeks and Romans in general were more worried about friendship than we are. I am not sure how one would prove or disprove the truth of this idea, but it is not hard to see where it comes from. The responsibility for it lies mostly with two authors: admittedly great and influential ones, but for all that only individuals whose representative status cannot automatically be taken for granted without…

Two Notes on Catullus
The beginning of the seventy-sixth poem of Catullus appears to cause some modern readers considerable dismay. One may instance the reactions of R. O. A. M. Lyne: ‘Our first reaction to the beginning of this poem may be one of incredulity’ (The Latin Love Poets [Oxford, 1980], p. 31); ‘The effect of such language is to imply an outrageous and implausible self-righteousness’ (ibid. 32); of K. Quinn: ‘a self-righteousness that makes us feel a little…
Augustus and the Muses (Suetonius, Tiberius 21.4)
Suetonius quotes a number of extracts from Augustus' letters, with the intention of showing that Augustus did not dislike Tiberius as much as some had held, and that he had a high opinion of Tiberius' military qualities. The first of these contains a somewhat vexed textual problem. It reads as follows (in Ihm's Teubner edition): Vale, iucundissime Tiberi, et feliciter rem gere, ⋯μο⋯ κα⋯ ταῖς †μουιcαcαιcτ στρατηγ⋯ν. iucundissime et ita sim felix, …

A Note on the use of the Praenomen
It is recognized that Romans of the late Republic did not normally address or refer to one another by praenomen alone (for the conventions, see J. N. Adams, ‘Conventions of naming in Cicero’, CQ n.s. 28 [1978], 145 ff.; J. P. V. D. Balsdon, Romans and Aliens , ch. 11; Fordyce on Catullus 68 init.). Most instances in which the praenomen is used alone are easily explicable (see Adams, p. 161); either the persons concerned are members of the same fa…
