Abstract:

The pair of biographies Phocion – Cato the Younger begins by establishing, in the Life of Phocion, a comparison between the two protagonists that is illustrated and developed in the internal comparison that Plutarch implicitly traces throughout the two Lives. This can be seen, among other aspects, in their political vocation and in the description of their character and oratory. There is also a close parallel between these biographies and that of Cato the Elder, reinforced by the comparison of their protagonists with Socrates, which evokes the ideal image of the politician inspired by philosop

Abstract:

One of the great authorities in the antiquity who wrote about old age was Marcus Tullius Cicero, the author of „Cato Maior De senectute [Cato the Elder on Old Age]”. The famous orator wrote this work in 44 BCE and dedicated it to his friend Atticus. The author himself was almost 62 years old at that time, and Atticus 65. Cicero wrote the work in a dialogue form, setting the action in 150 BCE, the speakers being Marcus Porcius Cato the Elder, who in this case presented the views of Cicero, Publius Cornelius Scipio the Younger and Gaius Laelius Sapiens. Cicero followed the example of a Greek tre

Abstract:

AbstractIn this article we describe a series of computer algorithms that generate prose rhythm data for any digitised corpus of Latin texts. Using these algorithms, we present prose rhythm data for most major extant Latin prose authors from Cato the Elder through the second century a.d. Next we offer a new approach to determining the statistical significance of such data. We show that, while only some Latin authors adhere to the Ciceronian rhythmic canon, every Latin author is ‘rhythmical’ — they just choose different rhythms. Then we give answers to some particular questions based on our data

Abstract:

The article seeks to give a detailed analysis of fragments of Cato the Elder which were edited by Heinrich Jordan under the title Libri ad Marcum filium. Particular attention is given to reference formulae which introduce quotations from Cato. I argue that the fragments of Libri, which are explicitly labeled “ad filium” in our sources, and which are devoted to issues of medicine, go back to a private letter addressed to Cato’s elder son M. Porcius Cato Licinianus. In all probability, this letter belongs to a hypothetical series of letters written in 168 BC when Licinianus did his military serv

Decius Mus is modelled not just on the First Punic War episode described by Cato, as scholars have suggested, but on the same passage of Xenophon; it also proposes that Livy’s use of Xenophon may be mediated through Cato.

Cato the Elder and Pliny used the following magical components in healing practices: incantations (including words without dictionary meaning), gestures, fumigation and odors, “strong” materials and plants, transfer of influence to another object, and magic numbe

Abstract This article investigates the interplay of agriculture and writing in the elder Cato's aristocratic self-fashioning (both his individual self-representation, that is, and his construction of aristocracy more broadly). I argue that the De Agricultura represents Cato and his contemporaries as individual, small-plot farmers by making explicit the agricultural inflection of a more general masterly extensibility, i.e., that slaves were prosthetic tools with which owners accomplished various tasks, a move that in turn reveals the ubiquitous, assiduous ““labor”” of the individual owner.

The dialogue Cato Maior (De senectute) is often considered the Ciceronian text in which the topos of the “theater of life” (theatrum mundi) is explicitly revealed most frequently (five of the eight times in which it apears in all of the works of this author). Little attention, however, has been given to the effects of this topos on the dialog itself. It has been treated as a mere embellishment (ornatus), e.g. a resource used occasionally to apeal to more popular tastes. However, this article intends, firstly, to show that the theatrum mundi is an integral part of this philosophical dialogue; s

Abstract The Romans’ conquest of Syracuse and other Greek cities led to a fascinating encounter between two of the sources most at the heart of what we often call ‘Western Civilization’. Notwithstanding the Greeks’ achievements, several thoughtful Romans were fearful that an influx of Greek sophistication would weaken the Roman Republic. Cato the Elder was the most prominent of this group, and we begin here with a review of the limited remaining evidence of his thinking. We then look further afield for allies who might develop his case further. We find them, ironically enough, among the Greeks

For Pliny the Younger, who considered country villas to be comfortable homes, the profitability of landed estates was also important. And the link between estates and villas was taken for granted in the antique author’s own time, since ancient villas functioned not only as residences but also as estate centres. Pliny the Younger was mindful of the views of the agricultural writers who preceded him, such as Cato the Elder, Marcus Varro and Lucius Columella, on the purchase of an estate or, indeed, on the management of an estate.

Recent scholarship has examined Pliny's efforts to embed his acts of patronage in the rhetorical context of paternity. This paper examines how Pliny employs the discourse of paternity in representing himself as a mentor and exemplary model for young men, with particular focus on Book 8 of the Letters. Though he lacks a child or adoptive heir himself, Pliny embeds his work in a tradition in which Roman writers from the Elder Cato onward presented literary authority as coextensive with paternal authority. In Ep. 8.14, Pliny presents an idealized image of education by fathers or paternal surrogat

Izid Ciceronove knjige O starosti so uradno proslavili 18. novembra, ko so jo avtorji in uredniki tudi predstavili javnosti. Kot so večkrat poudarili vsi, ki so pomagali pri nastanku prevoda, je to delo najstarejša ohranjena razprava o starosti in medgeneracijskih odnosih. Poleg svoje edinstvenosti pa je ta spis vse presenetil prav s svojo nadčasno vsebino, ki je aktualna zlasti v današnjih razmerah, ko se Slovenija spopada s staranjem prebivalstva. Lično oblikovana knjižica je zato tudi vsebinsko zelo dodelana, saj poleg vzporednega izvirnika in slovenskega prevoda klasične filologinje Vide P

Abstract As part of NTT JTSR’s series on Key Texts, the present article discusses Cicero’s dialogue Cato Maior De Senectute (44 bce). Over the longue durée of western cultural history, the dialogue has been a key cultural reference. Even today, after the rise of modern gerontology, it is frequently cited. However, prevailing interpretations are hard-pressed to offer an even-handed and plausible view of the text. On the one hand, Cicero is presented uncritically as having anticipated all the latest results of today’s gerontological research. On the other hand, he is ridiculed as spokesman for a

Varias opciones contribuyen a someter el tópico de la senectud a una exposición more academicorum.

Plutarch of Chaeronea (ca. 45-122/125) changed his attitude to on old age in the successive stages of his life and literary production. In the period between AD 85 and 95 the middle-aged author inclined to the Stoic theory on old age. According to the Stoic doctrine his Table talks (Symposiacs) show an old age of man as a heatless and moistures state causing the physical and mental degeneracy. In the next phase – the time of working on the Parallel Lives (AD 96-117) Plutarch hesitated between the pessimistic Stoic view and the neo-Stoic conception of the eugeria („the beautiful ageing”), whos

Abstract:

It has long been thought that Romans did not hunt before the time of Scipio Aemilianus because hunting was not an activity for respectable citizens. This article shows that this tradition arose from a nineteenth-century bias for hunting on horseback. The tradition was supported principally by Polybius' account of Scipio's hunting and a quotation from Sallust. Although we now recognize that Greeks and Romans in general hunted on foot, this bias has predisposed the discussion against the discovery of evidence for the actual practice of hunting among the early Romans. The archaeological evidence

Sorting out just what Florus’ condensed work of history is has proved a significant impediment to an understanding of what it might mean. F.R.D. Goodyear's terse précis of Florus ‘The historian’—carefully decoupled from ‘The orator’ and ‘The poet’—in the Cambridge History of Classical Literature begins tellingly: ‘Florus’ outline of Roman history, ending with Augustus, was in late antiquity inaccurately described as an epitome of Livy.’ This is accurate enough. Despite the transmitted title, Epitoma(e) de Tito Liuio (also Bellorum omnium annorum septingentorum libri n. duo), Florus’ work is no
