Hauptbeschreibung""Caelius besaß viel Talent und besonders als Ankläger Witz und Esprit; er hätte eine bessere Gesinnung und ein längeres Leben verdient gehabt."" So äußerte sich schon der Rhetorikprofessor Quintilian zur Hauptperson von Ciceros Rede 'Pro Caelio'. Pointierten Witz und taktisches Geschick beweist auch Cicero in dieser delikaten Verteidigung seines einstigen Schützlings Marcus Caelius. Die vorliegende Ausgabe kommentiert ausgewählte Abschnitte dieser Rede und ist für die Lektürephase der Universitätskurse bestimmt, die zum Latinum hinführen. Sie kann in einem Semester

Die Studie zeigt ein für Cicero konstitutives Denkmuster in seinen philosophischen Schriften auf und nutzt die Erkenntnisse für eine Interpretation von Ciceros Verständnis von Philosophie und Welt. Grundlage hierfür ist eine Methodik, die in weiten Teilen dem literaturtheoretischen Strukturalismus zugeordnet werden kann, der als Ordnungsangebot aufgefasst wird, um neues Licht auf einen bekannten Klassiker zu werfen. Prinzipiell geht die Arbeit von der Textstruktur aus, in der sich ein dichotomes Denken manifestiert: So lassen sich im Text zunächst begriffliche Gegensatzpaare (binäre Oppositionen) identifizieren. Jedoch ist die strukturale Gegenüberstellung in Ciceros Philosophica immer nur der Ausgangspunkt eines Denkmusters, das von der Analyse (Trennung) zur Synthese (Vereinigung von Getrenntem) fortschreitet. Die Studie erhebt dabei den Anspruch, das abstrahierte Denkmuster Analyse-Synthese als globale Interpretationsfolie für das Philosophieren Ciceros zu beschreiben und anzuwenden.

By attacking Epicurean philosophy repeatedly in his public writings, Cicero established himself as one of Epicurus' most fervent critics. The remarks that he makes about Epicureanism in his letters further suggest a genuine conviction that such a philosophy had no place in Roman society. This consistency in Cicero's statements has led most scholars to assume that Cicero could not have embraced any of the principles of the Epicurean school. This book challenges the conventional view of Cicero as someone who completely rejected Epicurean philosophy-even in his private life-because of its utilitarian character. It argues that his relationship with Pompey, Caesar, Atticus, Quintus, Terentia, and Tullia encompassed several aspects of Aristotle's account of φιλία (love and friendship) but was, nonetheless, ultimately based on expediency, in accord with Epicurus' conception of φιλία. While Cicero's statements in his public speeches and his letters to men with an active public life have been scrutinised for his lack of candour or for his tendency to exaggerate his achievements, the claims found in his letters to Atticus and to his family have not been treated with equal caution, as they tend be taken at face value. The book highlights the large number of discrepancies in his remarks and argues that, despite his anti-Epicurean statements, personal benefit played a vital role in all of his relationships.

Cicero's Brutus (46 BCE), a tour-de-force of intellectual and political history, was written amidst political crisis: Caesar's defeat of the republican resistance at the battle of Thapsus. This magisterial example of the dialogue genre capaciously documents the intellectual vibrancy of the Roman Republic and its Greco-Roman traditions. This book is the first study of the work from several distinct yet interrelated perspectives: Cicero's account of oratorical history, the confrontation with Caesar, and the exploration of what it means to write a history of an artistic practice. Close readings of this dialogue-including its apparent contradictions and tendentious fabrications-reveal a crucial and crucially productive moment in Greco-Roman thought. Cicero, this book argues, created the first nuanced, sophisticated, and ultimately 'modern' literary history, crafting both a compelling justification of Rome's oratorical traditions and also laying a foundation for literary historiography that abides to this day. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

"The ancient commentaries and scholia to Cicero's speeches have hitherto received relatively little scholarly attention. This volume is dedicated to Asconius' first-century commentary and the corpora of the scholia stemming from the 4th-7th centuries (Bobbio, ps.-Asconius, and Gronovius). It shows the specific interpretative challenges of these corpora and offers interpretative case studies. Furthermore, it contextualizes the corpora within the learning and learned environment of their time, by contrasting them with rhetorical teaching (via the transmission of Cicero on papyri and his presence in the Rhetores Latini minores) and other ancient commentaries (on Homer and Demosthenes)"--

This selection of Cicero's letters not merely documents in detail Cicero's career but simultaneously provides a month-by-month record of the collapse of the republic and its replacement by a tyranny. It provides a vivid picture of daily life and politics in Rome, the assassination of Caesar, and Cicero's vain resistance to the rise of Mark Antony. - ;'How I wish that you had invited me to that most attractive feast on the Ides of March!'. Cicero lived through some of the most turbulent years in the history of Rome, and witnessed at first-hand the overthrow of the republic and its replacement b
