Cicero's Role Models: The Political Strategy of a Newcomer

Van Der Blom, H. (2010) Cicero's Role Models: The Political Strategy of a Newcomer. Series: Oxford classical monographs. Oxford University Press: Oxford, UK. ISBN 9780199582938

Abstract

This book is about the famous Roman orator and statesman Cicero and his rhetorical and political strategy as a newcomer in Roman republican politics. Henriette van der Blom argues that Cicero advertised himself as a follower of chosen models of behaviour from the past - his role models - and in turn presented himself as a role model to others. This new angle provides fresh insights into the political and literary career of one of the best-known Romans, and into the political discourse of the late Roman Republic.
