Extractions: Seminars 1998-99 When his daughter Tullia died in 45 BC, the Roman orator Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) was assailed by grief which he attempted to assuage by writing a philosophical work now known as the Consolatio . Despite its high reputation in the classical world, only fragments of this text-quoted by subsequent authors-are known to have survived the fall of Rome. However, in 1583 a book was printed in Italy purporting to be a rediscovery of Cicero's Consolatio . Its editor was a prominent humanist scholar and Ciceronian stylist called Carlo Sigonio. Some of Sigonio's contemporaries, notably Antonio Riccoboni, voiced doubts about the authenticity of this work; and since that time scholarly opinion has differed over the genuineness of the 1583 Consolatio Although the Consolatio has been included in several editions of Cicero's complete works, the current consensus is that the work is unlikely to be genuine. This conclusion was based primarily on circumstantial evidence. Recently, the Bristol Stylometry Research Unit (BSRU) has brought modern stylometric methods to bear on this question in order to see whether internal linguistic evidence supports the belief that the Consolatio of 1583 is a fake, very probably perpetrated by Sigonio himself.

Extractions: Roman general and statesman. A brilliant general, Caesar conquered all of Gaul and was made governor of Gallia Cisalpina and Gallia Transalpina (Cisalpine and Transalpine Gaul), and started a civil war against the Senate and his former colleague Pompey (Pompeius) when they wanted him to relinquish command and give up his governorship. After defeating Pompey and gaining control over Rome, Caesar was elected dictator (a title not to be confused with our present-day use of the term; a Roman dictator ruled with absolute power for a brief period of time during a severe crisis), first yearly - which was almost unheard of - and later for ten years. His obvious striving for autocracy provoked and scared the old Senate nobility, and his being elected dictator for life in 44 BC was the final straw: about sixty senators conspired and stabbed him to death on March 15, Idibus Martiis. Caesar's two great works are Commentarii de bello Gallico ("Commentaries on the Gallic War") and Commentarii de bello civili ("Commentaries on the Civil War"), both skillfully written propaganda for Caesar himself and his cause. Just as Cicero's, Caesar's prose is regarded as having been normative for the Latin language.

Extractions: E-mail: stevensj at mail.ecu.edu Purpose To review intensively the principles of Latin grammar, to begin to read connected Latin prose, and to become familiar with civilization in the later Roman Republic. The transition from 1002 to 1003 is very difficult. You will become a good reader of Latin only if you make a very strong effort in the first month of 1003. Use the time wisely to review things you missed in the first year. The goal of the course is not just to develop proficiency in translating: it is to learn the steps one should take to approach a sentence: 1) find the verbs, clause markers, and connectors and determine how many main and dependent clauses there are; 2) Identify the verbs and determine the types of the dependent clauses; 3) find the subjects and direct objects of each and identify fully; 4) identify the remaining words and determine what they modify. Text We will be reading Catilinarian Orations I-IV by the Roman statesman, Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC). These were delivered during a crisis in the year 63 BC against a disaffected senator named Lucius Sergius Catilina (Catiline, 108-63 BC, sitting alone at right). Catiline was from a formerly distinguished but now impoverished family. Catiline, though brave and tough, was highly unprincipaled: he was a henchman for Sulla during the dark days of proscriptions (like the reign of terror in the French Revolution). After being elected Praetor, he then served as Governor of N. Africa in 67 BC, which he raped by his taxation to such an extent that he had to stand trial for predatory practices (

Extractions: Figure 1. Cicero was the greatest Roman orator, but is noted today as a statesman and philosopher. He witnessed the decline and of his beloved Roman Republic, and struggles herocally, but unsucessfully to save it. As a statesman he is seen to have been more honest than effective. He was an important participant in the significant political events of his time. His writings are now a valuable source of information on the political events of the era. It is his writings, however, that have powerfully influenced Western Civilizationperhaps thecgreatest single voice. Most of our HBC biographies provide information on important persons to provide an insight into clothing trends over times. We have also added a few biographies people of towering importance in the development of Westrern civilization, even though we have no information concerning fashion and clothing. Cicero is one of those individuals. Cicero's father was a Roman knight. Cicero born at Arpinum in 106 BC. His brother Quintus was born in 104 BC. As a youth he saw the Republic and Roman spciety devouveing itself in ftaticidal struggles. Cicero studied oratory, law, and philosophy at Rome.
