Descrizione: Cizek reconstructs Cicero’s poetics of history from De oratore, De legibus, Brutus, Orator, and the letter to Lucceius. He argues that Cicero conceived historiography as an autonomous but rhetorically informed art: morally instructive, stylistically varied, and governed by fides rather than absolute truth. Apparent tensions between historical laws and the demand for ornament are resolved through a model of loyal, persuasive, and politically useful narration that shaped later Roman historiography. [PhR]
