Cicero, de Haruspicum Responsis

Introduction, Text, Translation, and Commentary

Beschreibung

In 56 BCE, the Roman senate met to interpret mysterious rumblings from the countryside, and Etruscan priests produced a document addressing the situation. Our sole witness to the senate meeting evaluating this document is Cicero's oration De haruspicum responsis, presented here with a new translation, and a detailed introduction and commentary.
