Description: Cicero’s public persona as orator is revisited in connection with his self-portrait as a textualized ‘voice’. After examining how the orator staged and reinvented his voice in his speeches, this paper turns its attention to the restaging and rewriting of Cicero’s voice in later authors, also offering a comparative Renaissance example of re-vocalizing Cicero.
