Descrizione: [APh] [Comment] Cicero's definition of res publica as res populi that launches the argument of his Res publica operates as a criterion of legitimacy between constitutions/politeiai/set-ups/regimes that are legitimate and those that are not. This interest in distinguishing between set-ups on the grounds of legitimacy is distinctively Roman and Ciceronian and not inherited from whatever Greek models Cicero was using.
