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.

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.
