Description: [Piras, Giorgio] [Abstract] The analysis of the prosopopoeia of Appius Claudius Caecus contained in Cicero’s ’Pro Caelio’ (33-34) allows to connect it with the famous speech of Appius Claudius against peace with Pyrrhus testified by Ennius and Cicero himself. The speech is also part of the long controversy of Cicero against the tribune Clodius and can be linked to other Cicero’s speeches and be related it to the literary and historical-political tradition of the Clodii.
