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.

In letter 4.14, Pliny the Younger remarks that he doesn't worry too much about criticism of his poetry since he's not planning to give up the day job (§10):nam si hoc opusculum nostrum aut potissimum esset aut solum, fortasse posset durum uideri dicere ‘quaere quod agas’: molle et humanum est ‘habes quod agas’.For if this little work were my chief or ...

Abstract With Cornelius Tacitus (c AD 56-c ad 115) we come to a great master of historical prose; but he was also a celebrated orator, and our first extract illustrates his interest in literary ideals. It comes from the Dialogus de oratoribus (c AD 100, but dramatic date ad 74), probably the best ‘dialogue’ in Latin literature.

I. The Isaurians escaped notice for long centuries. They first come to mention in an episode of the year 322 B.C. when Perdiccas after subduing Cappadocia captured their city, described as strong and populous, of ancient opulence. Isaurians next emerge in the campaign that earned a triumphal cognomen for P. Servilius Vatia (cos.

Abstract The deterioration in the political situation during the first century AD inevitably had far-reaching consequences on the content and character of the literature of the period. This resulted from opposition to imperial rule, the basis of which apparently lay in a sentimentalized view of the Republic, and in a concept less ...

Journal of Roman Studies, 1968
Alluding to the scanty sources for the reign of Trajan, the historian Gibbon came out with a melancholy pronouncement: ‘the glimmerings of an abridgement or the doubtful light of a panegyric’. Gibbon's mind was on warfare and government. A later age is drawn to a wider and more subtle theme: the study of society.

Abstract A Young couple moved into the house next door about the time I was writing this chapter, and I introduced myself to my new neighbors. “I know you, “ the young man said, “I ‘ve used your book. “ It ‘s a nice distinction, used rather than read, and I felt flattered.

AbstractWithin a century of his death, the Younger Pliny was already being confused with his famous uncle, the Elder Pliny. In the 1300s, the two were successfully disentangled, although the error of their origin in Verona (rather than Como) was spread.

The Elder Pliny's Natural History is one of the largest and most extraordinary works to survive from antiquity. It has often been referred to as an encyclopedia, usually without full awareness of what such a characterisation implies. In this book, Dr Doody examines this concept and its applicability to the work, paying far more attention than ever ...
