Short description/annotation
Examines how public, political discourse shaped the distribution of power between Senate and People.
Main description
This book highlights the role played by public, political discourse in shaping the distribution of power between Senate and People in the Late Roman Republic. Against the background of the current debate between 'oligarchical' and 'democratic' interpretations of Republican politics, Robert Morstein-Marx emphasizes the perpetual negotiation and reproduction of political power through mass communication. It is the first work to analyze the ideology of Republican mass oratory and to situate its rhetoric fully within the institutional and historical context of the public meetings (contiones) in which these speeches were heard. Examples of contional orations, drawn chiefly from Cicero and Sallust, are subjected to an analysis that is influenced by contemporary political theory and empirical studies of public opinion and the media, rooted in a detailed examination of key events and institutional structures, and illuminated by a vivid sense of the urban space in which the contio was set.
Table of contents:
1. Introduction; 2. Setting the stage; 3. Civic knowledge; 4. The voice of the people; 5. Debate; 6. Contional ideology: the invisible 'optimate'; 7. Contional ideology: the political drama; 8. Conclusion.
