Description: [APh] [Comment] From De oratore onwards Cicero advocates the intuitive judgments of a lay audience, which are equal to those of experts, be it with differences as to technical points. There are two kinds of popular judgment : 1) the acoustic verdict, which has to do with prose rhythm (De orat. and Orator), and 2) the total verdict, which depends upon the total performance of an orator (De orat. and Brutus).
