Women, Wealth and Power in the Roman Republic
In the Roman Republic, elite women were legally permitted to control substantial assets – and many demonstrably were in direct control of their wealth. They were also the mothers, wives and daughters of the politicians who built Rome's empire and, in a time of high mortality, could find themselves running households that did not contain adult men. This volume explores the political and social consequences of elite female wealth. It combines case …
O the places rural children will go…to get physical activity
The School location is supportive of MVPA and high amounts of sedentary time. In addition to supporting children to travel to locations where they are likely to be active, efforts are needed to increase activity in locations where children spend substantial time. Providing more opportunities for activity in/around the home and reducing sedentary time during school may be promising targets for improving health among rural children
Impacts of zero-fare transit policy on health and social determinants
Population-level efforts are needed to increase levels of physical activity and healthy eating to reduce and manage chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Interventions to increase public transit use may be one promising strategy, particularly for low-income communities or populations of color who are disproportionately burdened by health disparities and transportation barriers. This study employs a natural…
Cultural Memory in Republican and Augustan Rome
Cultural Memory and Political Change in the Public Speech of the Late Roman Republic
Sulla’s dictatorship transformed Rome politically, socially, and physically. 1 The changes which he imposed created winners as well as losers; but collectively the experience of his rule was traumatic, combining unprecedented violence directed at individuals with continuing uncertainty around fundamental citizen rights. 2 The trauma persisted, in the transformation in the operation of the res publica , the Roman state, which was regularly repeate…

The Arrival of Eloquence?
Did the practice and function of oratory change at Rome during the second century bce, and if so, what was the relationship between that change and the range of demonstrable change visible in other elements of Roman politics, society, and culture? At least two distinct stories can be told in response to this question. One sees the second century as a time of significant change in public speech, as the strains of imperial power create new arenas f…

Portraying Cicero in Literature, Culture, and Politics
Cicero’s novitas has elicited different reactions throughout the centuries. Starting from a re-examination of a passage of Velleius Paterculus (2, 128, 1-4), a celebration of a notion of nobilitas founded on moral and political virtues, this paper revisits the role played by Cicero homo novus in the formation of a new, modern ideology of nobility. It argues that the status of Cicero as ‘new man’ and ‘new nobilis’ impacted on later reflections on …
Philosophy in Cicero’s Speeches
The most obvious use of philosophy within Cicero’s speeches is as a source of invective: Stoicism against Cato in the Pro Murena , Epicureanism in In Pisonem . However, even here Cicero is careful to show that philosophical adherence itself is not a fault; but only faulty adherence. Elsewhere in the speeches, Cicero draws on Stoic theories of society in constructing his views of the relationship between the res publica , crisis, and tyranny and i…

Institutions and Ideology in Republican Rome
This volume brings together a distinguished international group of researchers to explore public speech in Republican Rome in its institutional and ideological contexts. The focus throughout is on the interaction between argument, speaker, delivery and action. The chapters consider how speeches acted alongside other factors - such as the identity of the speaker, his alliances, the deployment of invective against opponents, physical location and a…
Facial resemblance between women's partners and brothers
Speech without Limits
Roman forensic performance during the Republic period involved a combination of uninterrupted formal oratory with a range of other speech acts: witness evidence, cross-examination, interruptions, as well as non-verbal acts. This chapter explores this context to the textual record of republican oratory and analyses their importance in relation to the issue of the political significance of the courts in this period

Early-career Prosecutors
The focus of this chapter is on the ways in which members of the senatorial order in the late Republic (and those who aspired to join that order) exploited a knowledge of the law to further their careers. Cicero is the best-documented example, whose activity demonstrates a complex relationship between those who claimed expert theoretical knowledge of the law and those who spoke in the courts, between ‘jurists’ and ‘orators’. Drawing on the result…

The Roman Senate and the post-Sullan res publica
This article assesses the significance of the modifications to Sulla’s constitution introduced during the 70s. It argues the post-Sullan senate was in effect divided into two groups, those who sought and held imperium-bearing magistracies and those who did not: the latter group’s experience of senatorial status was of jury service and senatorial debate. The 70s seemed to mark the decisive triumph of the former group within the Senate, but as the …
Introduction
The Senate was a central element in the political organization of Republican Rome, despite a considerable degree of imprecision over its exact functions and powers. As subsequent periods attempted to understand and use the Roman Republic, its Senate proved both a resource and an obstacle to that process, and its continuing importance in the reception history of Rome is to be understood in relation to the difficulty of reaching firm conclusions ab…
Rethinking Sulla
Pressing and urgent domestic problems were the justification for L. Cornelius Sulla's election to the dictatorship in 82 b.c. He responded with an extensive legislative programme which reorganized the judicial and legislative processes of the res publica . While there is agreement, in broad terms, about the nature of these changes, their purpose and significance remain debated. None the less, there is general consensus that the Senate's role in S…

Pompeius, Helvius Mancia, and the Politics of Public Debate
In 55 B.C., Pompeius Magnus (then consul for the third time) and Helvius Mancia (an elderly man, not known to have held office at Rome) clashed in front in the censors concerning charges which Mancia was bringing against Lucius Libo. Mancia’s speech is preserved in Valerius Maximus’ Memorable Words and Deeds. This chapter investigates the surviving evidence for Mancia as an orator and the nature of his response to Pompey, arguing that the episode…
Reading Cicero
Community and Communication
This book brings together nineteen scholars to rethink the role of public speech in the Roman Republic. Speech was an integral part of decision-making in Republican Rome, and oratory was part of the education of every member of the elite. Yet no complete speech from the period by anyone other than Cicero survives, and as a result the debate on oratory, and political practice more widely, is liable to be distorted by the distinctive features of Ci…
Cicero's BRUTUS
The ostensible function of the Brutus is to record the history of oratory at Rome and thereby confirm that it has ceased to exist under Caesar's dictatorship. But the gulf between Cicero's ideal of oratory and its actual use mean that he is unable to implement his inclusive selection criteria, as the absences of Marius, Sulla, Catiline and Clodius from the catalogue indicate; and his discussions of speakers have to concentrate on technique and no…

The End of the Roman Republic 146 to 44 BC
In 146 BC the armies of Rome destroyed Carthage and emerged as the decisive victors of the Third Punic War. The Carthaginian population was sold and its territory became the Roman province of Africa. In the same year and on the other side of the Mediterranean Roman troops sacked Corinth, the final blow in the defeat of the Achaean conspiracy: thereafter Greece was effectively administered by Rome. Rome was now supreme in Italy, the Balkans, Greec…

Cicero’s autobiography
Cicero’s writings should be interpreted as a single narrative, which teleologically records the progress of his public life from its outset. Close attention to his pre-consular speeches shows the extent to which he edited his actions in an attempt to show his unimpeded rise up the cursus honorum and the importance of the Verrines in re-energising his career at a point at which -despite his best textual efforts -it was flagging. Interpretation of …
Cicero
Marcus Tullius Cicero (b. 106–d. 43 bce) was a prominent lawyer and politician, active at Rome during the final decades of the Roman Republic and in the period of Caesar’s dictatorship. He was assassinated in November of 43 bce on the orders of the second triumvirate (Octavian, Mark Antony, and Lepidus) because of his opposition to Antony after Caesar’s death. His position as a politician makes him an important figure in the history of the late R…
Cicero, rhetoric, and empire
"Cicero presents himself as a politician whose importance lies in influencing what goes on in Rome. Many of his speeches, however, are closely engaged with Roman activities, civil and military, in the provinces of the empire. This book analyses for the first time all Cicero's speeches dealing with empire: those on provincial extortion (particularly the Verrines and pro Flacco), on citizenship (pro Archia and pro Balbo), and on the distribution of…

The indistinct literary careers of Cicero and Pliny the Younger
The careers of Cicero and Pliny the Younger go well together. Or at least so Pliny, who explicitly modelled himself on Cicero, would have hoped. Both were men of equestrian and non-Roman origins, noui homines who rose to the consulship (although Pliny notes at Epist . 4.8.5 that he attained both consulship and augurate while younger than Cicero), masters of eloquence in senate and law court, and recognized practitioners of a wide range of literar…
The lex Pompeia de provinciis of 52 B.C
This paper argues that the purpose of Pompeius' law on provinces from 52 B.C. should be traced back to its origins in a senatus consultum of the previous year, and that its main function was to remove provincial commands from the normal operation of the cursus honorum. The failure of sufficient numbers of praetors and consuls to proceed to a province may also be a relevant consideration. The law's effect on the praetorship is as important as that…

The Cambridge Companion to Cicero
Cicero was one of classical antiquity's most prolific, varied and self-revealing authors. His letters, speeches, treatises and poetry chart a political career marked by personal struggle and failure and the collapse of the republican system of government to which he was intellectually and emotionally committed. They were read, studied and imitated throughout antiquity and subsequently became seminal texts in political theory and in the reception …
