Descrizione: This article analyses the five Ciceronian passages which recall Rome’s civil wars in order. The first section discusses what the corpus of civil wars looked like in Roman memory, and the importance of both what was and what was not included. The second discusses why Cicero used the phrase bellum civile idiosyncratically to describe these conflicts, and why it was applied or withheld in different circumstances. The third discusses the memory of Cicero’s conflict with Catiline, and why he did not include it in his catalogues of civil wars. The article concludes with a discussion of the normative potential of civil war in Roman oratory and politics. [Author]
