Description: Catherine E. W. Steel reads the reception of Cicero’s speeches in Seneca the Elder’s collection, Asconius Pedianus’ historical commentary and Quintilian’s pedagogical handbook as instrumental in determining the diversity of Ciceronian images which cultured readers were familiar with. As demonstrated by the variety of approaches by which students and scholars looked at the Pro Milone, in the early empire there were different ways to be a reader of Cicero’s speeches. Textual Cicero was not only used for didactic purposes. It was open to a plurality of readings reflecting the complexity of Cicero’s figure. [Berno & La Bua 2022, xviii]
