Title: « O Tite ! » : a peculiar use of the praenomen
Review/Collection: Palamedes: A Journal of Ancient History, 13
Year edition: 2020
Pages: 413-415
Keywords: Stylistique et genres littéraires - Stilistica e generi letterari - Stylistics and literary genre
Description: As we see from Ennius, the praenomen alone can be used by a Greek addressing a Roman; as we see from Lucilius, it can be also employed by a Roman greeting a philhellene in jest. At the beginning of Cato Maior, Cicero quotes the passage of Ennius, but those words when addressed by him to Atticus acquire a similar function as those mentioned by Lucilius. [Author]
