Description: [APh] [Comment] An analysis of the confrontation between Cicero's De oratore and Caesar's De analogia shows that Caesar's politically motivated systemization of the Latin language is of the same mode of thought and action later found in the Principate. The critical terminology, preoccupation with decline, and formation of a declamatory canon in Seneca's Controversiae and Suasoriae are evidence of how the social and political rules of the Principate influenced oratory.
