Description: Hilder convincingly shows that those studying Roman law of this period need to take more account of manuals of rhetoric in order to form an appreciation of context. Rhetorical manuals can indeed provide us with much information of law and legal practice. [editor]. The anonymous Rhetorica ad Herennium and Cicero’s early De Inventione place great emphasis on the Judicial type of oratory that takes place in the Roman courts. By teaching their readers how to speak in this context through comments and examples, the two texts also provide a unique insight into the law, legal systems and personnel in the early first century BCE. This chapter focuses on the information they provide about the people involved in the Roman courts: the jurists, the advocates, and the jurors [Abstract].
