In The city of God, book XIX, Augustine refutes the ciceronian definitions of res publica and populus, founded on justice, and redefines both terms according to a conception of love.Such an enterprise reveals not only the authors' distinct conceptions of justice.As a matter of fact, in having to critique the definitions according to the law, Augustine simultaneously understands them through concepts of his own, such as nature, sin, grace, virtue, time and eternity, transcendence and presence, which articulate and constitute themselves throughout The city of God along with the concept of love.Thus, a set of presuppositions underlies the author's rejection of the ciceronian definitions.This study aims, therefore, at examining the general plan of both authors' works -Cicero's On the Republic; Augustine's The city of God -in order to understand the irreducibility of their philosophies and why Augustine needed to redefine those political terms
