Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cicero's letters have figured prominently in some of western modernity's most cherished illusions about the immediacy of its encounter with Classical antiquity. Celebrated since their discovery in the Renaissance for their intimate mode of self-expression, they have been prized ever since for the unparalleled proximity they appear to give us to the events and leading figures of the late Republic. However, they were only organized into books and collections, and published as such, by unknown editors long after Cicero's death. Modern editors have also dismantled these collections and reorganized the letters chronologically in an attempt to reconstruct the events that they document more accurately. Souvenirs of Cicero studies the narratives that the letter collections unfold and the post-Republican perspectives that shape them. It looks closely at the ancient format of Epistulae ad Familiares, the collection that incorporates Cicero's widest cast of correspondents and has been most vulnerable to this practice of reorganization, and reverses it, attending instead to the collection's status as an artefact of the later imperial age. Francesca K. A. Martelli traces the social, political, and technological agencies that shaped this letter collection in antiquity and elucidates the interests that these editorial interventions serve both for ancient readers and for our interpretation of the letters today by integrating a close analysis of these letters with hypotheses drawn from contemporary media theory. Cicero's letters emerge from this study as residual media, which haunt subsequent history with the Republic's lost futures as they circulate beyond their own era.

Download or read book Cicero pro Caelio A Selection written by Georgina Longley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Cicero's pro Caelio, 51–58, 61–68, and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription of 33–50, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level. Pro Caelio is one of Cicero's finest and funniest speeches. In 56 BC, he defended Marcus Caelius Rufus who was being prosecuted on charges of violence, including the attempted poisoning of Roman noblewoman Clodia with whom Caelius previously had an affair. Cicero's primary tactic was to blacken the character and reliability of Clodia, whom he depicts as the woman scorned, prosecuting Caelius out of revenge. Drawing on characters well known from Roman comedy, Cicero casts Caelius as the decent young man victimized by the aggressive courtesan, thereby shaming Clodia and glossing over the more awkward charges levelled at his client.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In republican times, one of Rome's deadliest enemies was King Mithridates of Pontus. In 66 BCE, after decades of inconclusive struggle, the tribune Manilius proposed a bill that would give supreme command in the war against Mithridates to Pompey the Great, who had just swept the Mediterranean clean of another menace: the pirates. While powerful aristocrats objected to the proposal, which would endow Pompey with unprecedented powers, the bill proved hugely popular among the people, and one of the praetors, Marcus Tullius Cicero, also hastened to lend it his support. In his first ever political speech, variously entitled pro lege Manilia or de imperio Gnaei Pompei, Cicero argues that the war against Mithridates requires the appointment of a perfect general and that the only man to live up to such lofty standards is Pompey. In the section under consideration here, Cicero defines the most important hallmarks of the ideal military commander and tries to demonstrate that Pompey is his living embodiment. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and a commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, the incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both AS and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis and historical background to encourage critical engagement with Cicero's prose and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought.
