Abstract

Extensive invective against individuals relating to their conduct in Rome’s provinces is found in Cicero’s speeches. Earlier oratorical material on this topic can be identified or hypothesised; but its interpretation is made difficult by the location and context in which it is preserved. Attention to the reception of this invective in Livy and in Cicero underscores the extent to which provincial government was a topic of evolving concern throughout the Late Republic and early Principate, which in turn shaped the account of earlier oratory that we find in these writers.
