Description: Cicero's « prosopopoeia » of Appius Claudius in Cael. 33-34 alludes to Appius Claudius' most famous speech (mentioned by Ennius, fr. 199-200 Skutsch ; quoted in Cicero, sen. 16) to strengthen Cicero's appeal and to add humor to it. This observation allows us to appreciate a largely unnoticed aspect of the passage's comedy. (Année philologique)
