Descrizione: Veronica Roberts Ogle dwells on the underappreciated legacy of Cicero’s political vision in Augustine’s De civitate Dei. She demonstrates that even Augustine’s new definition of res publica retains the Ciceronian vision as its backdrop. The reason Augustine parts ways with Cicero on the definition of the res publica, she argues, is that he seeks to purge the Ciceronian civitas of its internal contradictions. In this way, Augustine’s positive view is Ciceronian in its core aspirations [Hahmann & Vazquez 2025, 7].
