Die Korrespondenz des Politikers und Philosophen M. Tullius Cicero (106-43 v. Chr.) ist ein einzigartiges Quellenkorpus: Von keiner anderen Person der römischen Antike sind vergleichbar umfassende Selbstzeugnisse überliefert. In Ciceros Selbstdarstellung zeigt sich der Habitus einer Senatsaristokratie, deren soziales Feld durch das Netzwerk der Freundschaftsbeziehungen strukturiert ist. Die gesellschaftlichen Praktiken situieren sich in urbanen und ländlichen Räumen zwischen Italien und den Provinzen, die als Orte von Begegnung und Kommunikation unter Eliteangehörigen, aber auch zwischen diesen und sozial Untergeordneten dienen. Die Autorinnen und Autoren setzen in ihren Analysen der Cicero-Briefe aktuelle theoretische und methodologische Ansätze der historischen Anthropologie um und entwickeln neue Perspektiven auf die römische Sozialgeschichte. Mikrohistorische Lektüren lassen die geschlechtsspezifischen Bedingungen des Handelns erkennen, die Bedeutung von Krankheit und Tod und das Verhältnis zu griechischen Sklavinnen und Sklaven. In der Auseinandersetzung mit den deutsch- und französischsprachigen Forschungstraditionen römischer Sozialgeschichte entwerfen die Beiträge ein multiperspektivisches Bild des gesellschaftlichen Alltags im 1. Jahrhundert v. Chr.

"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)"--

"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."--Publisher's website.
