Descrizione: In the wake of Cicero in Basel first chapter (Ricchieri 2024), Alice Borgna turns from the myth to the man as she reviews the ancient testimony for L. Munatius Plancus, especially the twenty-five letters of the extant correspondence with Cicero dating from the turbulent years of 44–43 BCE. Borgna retraces the fine nuances behind the veneer of politeness and camaraderie in the letters between the two men who were negotiating their respective positions after the assassination of Julius Caesar. Borgna’s contribution thus not only offers an account of Plancus’ rhetorical prowess but also an archaeology of his Ciceronian credentials, which eventually crystallised in the tag Ciceronis discipulus [Scheidegger Laemmle 2024, 11].
