Description: [L'Année philologique] [Comment] The published text of the Fourth Catilinarian presents Cicero's intervention in the debate as a complicated and subtle move, designed to be ambiguous yet appreciated for its artistry. It poses as a neutral representation and clarification of part of the debate but also functions as an oblique political maneuver.
