Abstract
Roman forensic performance during the Republic period involved a combination of uninterrupted formal oratory with a range of other speech acts: witness evidence, cross-examination, interruptions, as well as non-verbal acts. This chapter explores this context to the textual record of republican oratory and analyses their importance in relation to the issue of the political significance of the courts in this period.
