Description: This article analyzes Tertullian’s judgment on Tacitus. In particular, it is noted that in all probability there is a reference to a passage of Cicero’s "Pro Flacco." In any case, it is not excluded that Tertullian wanted to overturn Pliny’s famous judgment on Tacitus. Eloquentia is synonymous with "uerum", while "loquacitas" expresses "mendacia" [Author]
