Description: This paper analyzes the use of metaphor in Cicero's work "De Re Publica," focusing on the representation of celestial bodies and their movements as analogous to the political dynamics within the state. Through the discussion of Scipio's celestial metaphor, it argues that Cicero illustrates the cyclical nature of governments and their potential degenerations, making the complexities of political order more comprehensible. The examination of this metaphor reveals its significance not only for understanding political change but also for its broader implications in the philosophical discourse on governance and civic virtue.[Author]
