  • Souvenirs of Cicero

    Shaping Memory in the Epistulae ad Familiares

    by Francesca K. A. Martelli ...
    Cicero's letters have figured prominently in some of western modernity's most cherished illusions about the immediacy of its encounter with Classical antiquity. Celebrated since their discovery in the Renaissance for their intimate mode of self-expression, they have been prized ever since for the unparalleled proximity they appear to give us to the events and leading figures of the late Republic. ...

  • Disorienting Empire

    Republican Latin Poetry's Wanderers

    by Basil Dufallo ...
