Description: Claudia Beltrão da Rosa looks at Cicero’s exploitation of the slippery ontological status of statues of divinities: they can be both offerings to the gods and the gods themselves. As Cicero repeatedly draws his audience’s attention to the newly erected statue of Jupiter overlooking the Forum from his perch on the Capitoline, the orator creates a sense that it is Jupiter himself who is there above the crowd, defending the city and all who dwell in it. The statue ceases to be a statue and becomes the deus praesens. [Celia Schultz, BMCR 2020.11.04]
