Descrizione: [Abstract] This paper argues that Cicero’s much-maligned poem about his consulship was a highly original work that challenged the boundaries of the epic genre. Incorporating elements of political autobiography and didactic poetry and raising interesting questions about poetic voice and persona, the poem presents a rime example of Kreuzung der Gattungen. The poet-protagonist’s privileging of civic over military achievements is a bold move in terms not only of Roman political ideals but also of generic decorum, constituting a recusatio of tradition-al martial epic in favor of a new, uniquely Ciceronian type of poetry.
