About this Item

pp. 1-8. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Binding somewhat bumped, author's name handwritten on cover, paper lightly browned, otherwise clean. - From the text: In the Pro Caelio, as Austin has pointed out, «Cicero is anxious from the outset to show that Caelius is not worthless or frivolous.». He might have added that the orator was also out to make Clodia appear as worthless and frivolous as possible, for the speech is a kind of voyage of discovery in which Cicero presents these two characters to the jury as he wants them to be viewed: Caelius is very good and Clodia very bad. To develop this idea, the orator draws his strategy from the fact that Clodia is the hidden force behind the prosecution. - Wikidata: Canadian-American classical philologist (1929-2014). Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
