Description: [APh] [Comment] By analyzing the ways in which Cicero deploys arguments about socio-political and moral ancestry (e.g., Inu. 1, 29; De orat. 1, 17; 1, 94; and 2, 68) we see that the Roman idea that virtues should run in families involves both a belief about how people develop, and a means of social or familial persuasion to induce action.Works:
