Descrizione: Cicero's historical approach to describing the development of the political institution of the Roman republic provided a fertile source for Augustine's account of the establishment of the Christian church. Cicero's De republica 5, 1 is an implicit backdrop to Augustine's correspondence with Nectarius (Ep. 90; 91; 103; 104) and his City of God 4, 3; 4, 4; 18, 48-53. (Année philologique)
