Description: Re-examining a brilliant passage from the dialogue Brutus (sections 183–200), Alfredo Casamento focuses on Cicero’s self-presentation as the ideal orator and reconsiders the relevance of the audientium adprobatio to the creation of the ‘good man skilled in speaking’ (vir bonus dicendi peritus). Though admitting to the decadence of eloquence in current times, in the Brutus Cicero integrates the key issue of the popular consensus into his self-fashioning strategy. Good eloquence relies on public approbation. In treating such a delicate and controversial topic Cicero paves the way for future debates on the nature of eloquence and rhetoric, debates perceived as ‘Ciceronian’ by generations to come. [editor].
