"Pliny's Panegyricus (AD 100) survives as a unique example of senatorial rhetoric from the early Roman Empire. It offers an eyewitness account of the last years of Domitian's principate, the reign of Nerva and Trajan's early years, and it communicates a detailed senatorial view on the behaviour expected of an emperor. It is an important document in the development of the ideals of imperial leadership, but it also contributes greatly to our understanding of imperial political culture more generally. This volume, the first ever devoted to the Panegyricus, contains expert studies of its key historical and rhetorical contexts, as well as important critical approaches to the published version of the speech and its influence in antiquity. It offers scholars of Roman history, literature and rhetoric an up-to-date overview of key approaches to the speech, and students and interested readers an authoritative introduction to this vital and under-appreciated speech"--

Book VII of Lucan's De Bello Ciuili recounts the decisive victory of Julius Caesar over Pompey at the Battle of Pharsalus on 9 August 48 BCE. Uniquely within Lucan's epic, the entire book is devoted to one event, as the narrator struggles to convey the full horror and significance of Romans fighting against Romans and of the republican defeat. Book VII shows both De Bello Ciuili and its impassioned, partisan narrator at their idiosyncratic best. Lucan's account of Pharsalus well illustrates his poem's macabre aesthetic, his commitment to paradox and hyperbole, and his highly rhetorical presentation of events. This is the first English commentary on this important book for more than half a century. It provides extensive help with Lucan's Latin, and seeks to orientate students and scholars to the most important issues, themes and aspects of this brilliant poem.

Elyesa Bazna, valet de chambre de l'ambassadeur britannique à Ankara, pendant la guerre, fut, sous le nom de Cicéron, le héros de la plus extraordinaire histoire d'espionnage contemporaine. Au lendemain du conflit, il avait disparu et on ne savait de lui que ce qu'en avait dit l'agent nazi Moyzisch, qui lui acheta ses photocopies : Hitler y trouvait annoncées - sans y croire - toutes les grandes décisions des Alliés, y compris le débarquement de Normandie. Hollywood en fit un film ; Cicéron se confondait avec sa légende... C'est en Turquie qu'on l'a retrouvé : les sommes énormes que lui remirent les nazis n'étaient que de la fausse monnaie, fabriquée par les déportés du camp d'Oranienburg ! Trahi, dupé, ruiné, Cicéron vient d'écrire ses Mémoires. C'est un travail méticuleux, d'une grande précision historique, conduit avec autant de soin qu'un expédition nocturne de son auteur dans la chambre de l'ambassadeur britannique endormi. C'est aussi une confession sincère, et un passionnant roman d'espionnage.

Roman literature is inherently political in the varied contexts of its production and the abiding concerns of its subject matter. This collection examines the strategies and techniques of political writing at Rome in a broad range of literature spanning almost two centuries, differing political systems, climates, and contexts. It applies a definition of politics that is more in keeping with modern critical approaches than has often been the case in studies of the political literature of classical antiquity. By applying a wide variety of critically informed viewpoints, this volume offers the reader not only a long view of the abiding techniques, strategies, and concerns of political expression at Rome but also many new perspectives on individual authors of the early empire and their republican precursors.

Les sept études rassemblées dans ce volume relèvent du même domaine d'investigation que celles du précédent volume, Institutions et vie coloniale en Amérique Espagnole, paru en 1985, deux d'entre elles constituant la suite directe de sujets déjà abordés. Sans prétendre épuiser la matière définie par l'intitulé, ces travaux devraient contribuer, dans leur diversité thématique, géographique et temporelle, à mieux faire saisir la nature et la complexité des problèmes liés à la vie coloniale hispano-américaine dans ses rapports souvent tendus avec les institutions métropolitaines ou territoriales.

This volume illuminates the identification of marginalized individuals and groups in Neronian and Flavian Rome, and the reasons which led to their marginalization. It emphasis popular Roman views about those who lived in the margins of Roman society as well as the ethnic groups in the boundaries of the Empire itself, and traces connections between certain peoples' marginal state and the geographical isolation of the spaces they inhabited
