Descrizione: Sallust's imitations of other authors sometimes come when the context of his model is the same as Sallust's own, which provides a deeper comment on his topic. Authors whom he imitated in this way include Aeschylus, Cicero, Herodotus, Plato, and Thucydides. Sallust uses this device to depict himself as the Roman equivalent of Plato and of Thucydides. Similar instances are found in the writings of Isocrates, Xenophon, Polybius, and perhaps Plato. [Da APh]
