The first section examines Cicero's en:5)loyment of the terms "amicitia" and "inimicitia". It takes the form of a prosopographical study of all those named. The Repubhc came before all ties of "amicitia" and "inimicitia". Cicero saw his cause as one and the same as that of the Republic. The second section is divided into four sub-sections. The first deals with Cicero's references to the Consulsl^p. Consuls must possess certain essential qualities and abide by a code of practice. The second sub-section contains an analysis of Cicero's references to the Tribunate. The Tribiinates of Clodhis, Milo and Sestius are assessed in detaiL Clodhis' legislation may be defended. Cicero's attitude towards "vis" is ambivalent. Cicero's references to violence are fsa more fi^equent in the Senatorial speech. The third sub-section looks at Cicero's treatment of pubhc meetings and assemblies. Cicero's descE5)tions of the meetings held in 58 B.C. are compared with those of 57 B.C. They are contrasted with Cicero's ideal Cicero is keen to draw attention to the consensus that recalled him. Finally, all Cicero's allusions to the Senate are analysed. Cicero exaggerates the extent to which the Senate lost its authority in 58 B.C. Cicero boasts of the consensus in fsvom of his recaL Cicero extols the comitia centuriata. The final section analyses Cicero's references to place. This section is divided into three themes. The first tiieme is "the city lost, the city restored". Cicero employs the connotations of specific places in the city to enhance this central theme. The second theme examdnes Cicero's corcparison between city and country. The country receives great praise. The last theme looks at allusions to the Emphe. This reveals the Roman ciiriosity in foreign lands and prejudice against foreign people.

INTRODUCTION The Catilinarian conspiracy in 63 B.C., during Marcus Tullius Cicero's Consulship, marks the beginning of a chain of events vMch led ultimately to Cicero's banishment from Rome in March 58 B.C. At the end of 63 B.C. the Senate was left with the decision of how to punish the captured conspirators. The details of the debate wdiich took place on 5 December are unreliable. However, C. Julius Caesar's opinion was well known. He bitterly opposed the death penalty and at one point seemed to have won his audience over. As nothing was ever formally resolved, Cicero ordered the conspirators to be put to death. Cicero was hailed "parens patriae" for bringing about the suppression of the conspiracy. Cicero did not take up a govemorshq) at the end of the year; he remained in Rome. In 62 B.C. P. Clodhis Pulcher, a young noble and formerly a friend of Cicero's, was charged with having violated the sacred rites of the Bona Dea and an "incestum" trial against him was set up. At the trial Cicero completely obliterated Clodhis' ahbi and later, after Clodhis' acquittal, charged that the jiirors were corrupted. This incident marks the beginning of their "inimicitia". On Cn. Ponq)eius Magnus' return from the East in 60 B.C. the coalition between himself Caesar and P. Licinius Crassus was formed. Cicero was in strong opposition to the collaboration and made his views pubUc. In turn Caesar made frequent offers to Cicero throughout 60 B.C. to join them but the orator declined. In 59 B.C. Caesar took up his Consulsh^ and began working to fiilfil the promises he had made to his fellow Triumvirs. His conduct made him many enemies; amongst them was Cicero. At the trial of C. Antonius in March of that year, Cicero was said to have made a direct attack on Caesar and his Consulship. A short time later, Caesar, acting as Chief Pontiff oversaw the adoption of Clodius which brought about his transition to plebeian status and enabled him to stand for the Tribunate of the following year in which he was successful Upon taking up his office on December 10 59 B.C. Clodius brought forward two bills concerning Cicero, the second of wiiich formally exiled him by name. The details of these two bills will be discussed in more detail wien Clodius' Tribunate is examined. Brie%, Cicero was banished due to his decision, mentioned above, to execute the captured Catihnarian conspirators. This action was said to be illegal because it breached the "lex Sen^jronia" of Gahis Gracchus in 123 B.C. This law reaffirmed the right of appeal to the people m capital cases and rendered magistrates who transgressed it Uable to prosecution. Cicero had been acting under the cover of a "senatus consultum ultimimi" which had been put in place six weeks earher due to the threat inqjosed by the Catilinarian affair. There is much confusion surrounding this issue and the extent to which the decree allowed the Consuls extra powers. It is generally beheved that it no more than reminded the magistrates of their duty, that is, to protect the res pubhca. It did not therefore grant them any extra jurisdiction or permit them to break the laws. However in extreme cases, vsien the national security was at risk, the Consuls were permitted to take any action necessary to save the state. The basis for Clodius' attack on Cicero in this respect therefore must be that the threat did not affect the stability of the res publica. The conspirators were captured and presumably could have had other effective forms of punishment exacted upon them This was Caesar's desire and his argument was that to have them executed would set a bad precedent and might seem tyrannical The legal arguments do not end here. Clodius' second bill was said to be "privilegium"; that is, it was a measure directed at an individual, naming Cicero specifically, a procedure judged illegal ever since the Twelve Tables. Cicero had however already left Rome, a move he was to regret later. It was seen as an admission of guilt and so Clodius' law was passed in the concilium plebis and Cicero was officially made an outlaw. For the rest of that year Cicero fell into decline, and the tone of his letters is despairing. A condition of Clodius' law was that no discussion on the matter could take place in that year. Behind the scenes, however, Cicero's closest fiiends were busy campaigning on his behalf with the result that the new year brought fresh hope to the cause. Nearly all the magistrates of the following year were favourable to Cicero including both Consuls. On July 18 57 B.C. the Comitia Centuriata voted to recall Cicero to Rome. That very day the orator left Dyrrachium and began his month long joiuney back to the city. After thanking Atticus for his support, Cicero defines his current position in a letter written in September 57 B.C: "As regards my poUtical position, I have attained wiiat I thought would be the hardest thing to recover - my distinction at the Bar, my authority in the House, and more popularity with the sound party than I desire...

    Pompey, the Great Husband

    Michael Jaffee Patterson Independent Project 2/1/13 Pompey, the Great Husband Abstract: Pompey the Great’s traditional narrative of one-dimensionally striving for power ignores the possibility of the affairs of his private life influencing the actions of his political career. This paper gives emphasis to Pompey’s familial relationships as a motivating factor beyond raw ambition to establish a non-teleological history to explain the events of his life. Most notably, Pompey’s opposition to the special command of the Lex Gabinia emphasizes the incompatibility for success in both the public and private life and Pompey’s preference for the later. Pompey’s disposition for devotion and care permeates the boundary between the public and private to reveal that the happenings of his life outside the forum defined his actions within. 1 “Pompey was free from almost every fault, unless it be considered one of the greatest faults for a man to chafe at seeing anyone his equal in dignity in a free state, the mistress of the world, where he should justly regard all citizens as his equals,” (Velleius Historiae Romanae 2.29.4). The annals of history have not been kind to Pompey. Characterized by the unbridled ambition attributed as his impetus for pursuing the civil war, Pompey is one of history’s most one-dimensional characters. This teleological explanation of Pompey’s history oversimplifies the entirety of his life as solely motivated by a desire to dominate the Roman state. However, a closer examination of the events surrounding the passage of the Lex Gabinia contradicts this traditional portrayal.

    295 Emanuela Borgia (Rome) CILICIA and the ROMAN EMPIRE

    EMANUELA BORGIA, CILICIA AND THE ROMAN EMPIRE STUDIA EUROPAEA GNESNENSIA 16/2017 ISSN 2082-5951 DOI 10.14746/seg.2017.16.15 Emanuela Borgia (Rome) CILICIA AND THE ROMAN EMPIRE: REFLECTIONS ON PROVINCIA CILICIA AND ITS ROMANISATION Abstract This paper aims at the study of the Roman province of Cilicia, whose formation process was quite long (from the 1st century BC to 72 AD) and complicated by various events. Firstly, it will focus on a more precise determination of the geographic limits of the region, which are not clear and quite ambiguous in the ancient sources. Secondly, the author will thoroughly analyze the formation of the province itself and its progressive Romanization. Finally, political organization of Cilicia within the Roman empire in its different forms throughout time will be taken into account. Key words Cilicia, provincia Cilicia, Roman empire, Romanization, client kings 295 STUDIA EUROPAEA GNESNENSIA 16/2017 · ROME AND THE PROVINCES Quos timuit superat, quos superavit amat (Rut. Nam., De Reditu suo, I, 72) This paper attempts a systematic approach to the study of the Roman province of Cilicia, whose formation process was quite long and characterized by a complicated sequence of historical and political events. The main question is formulated drawing on – though in a different geographic context – the words of G. Alföldy1: can we consider Cilicia a „typical” province of the Roman empire and how can we determine the peculiarities of this province? Moreover, always recalling a point emphasized by G. Alföldy, we have to take into account that, in order to understand the characteristics of a province, it is fundamental to appreciate its level of Romanization and its importance within the empire from the economic, political, military and cultural points of view2.

  • Catullus, Memmius, and Bithynia

    Catullus, Memmius, and Bithynia

    Catullus, Memmius, and Bithynia Gaius Memmius was the son-in-law of Sulla, an orator who won backhanded praise from Cicero (Brut. 247), seducer of the wife of Marcus Lucullus (Cic. Att. 1. 18. 3) and a fierce adversary of his brother (Plut. Cat. Mi. 29. 5-8), a poet whose immodesty impressed Ovid (Tr. 2. 433), a praetor (Cic. Q. fr. 1. 2. 16), a candidate for the consulship, a disgraced exile, the probable but imperfect patron of Lucretius, and a perfect villain for Catullus, and a successful military commander, hailed by his troops as “Imperator.” The last is evidenced by a denarius (427 Crawford). The obverse presents the head of Ceres, facing right, with C∙ MEMMI C ∙ F ∙ reading downwards. On the reverse is a trophy and a kneeling captive with hands tied behind his back; reading downwards on the left is the title IMPERATOR and on the right C ∙ MEMMIUS. To my knowledge this remarkable coin is never brought up in discussions of Catullus, despite the fact that Catullus would have been serving in the cohors of Memmius at the time he was acclaimed imperator. Crawford and others date the coin to 56, following the consensus that Memmius was governor of Bithynia in 57. This presents a problem, for it seems unlikely that Memmius could have engaged in any significant military campaign nine years after the province had been pacified (Cic. Agr. 2. 47) and a full five years after Pompey’s settlement of the East. It is much more likely that Memmius’ victory was earlier, at a time when there was still potential unrest in the area of Bithynia following Mithradates’ resurgence in 67.

Bernard C. Brian Rose, Supervisor of Dissertation This dissertation investigates how Rome organized and paid for the considerable amount of labor that went into the physical transformation of the Middle Republican city. In particular, it considers the role played by the cost of public construction in the socioeconomic history of the period, here defined as 390 to 168 B.C. During the Middle Republic period, Rome expanded its dominion first over Italy and then over the Mediterranean. As it developed into the political and economic capital of its world, the city itself went through transformative change, recognizable in a great deal of new public infrastructure.

She furthermore confirms that no part of this thesis has been submitted for any other degree or qualification except as specified on the title page. __________________________________ Katherine Liong i Acknowledgements A PhD thesis inevitably takes on a life of its own, and accrues many debts along the way. I am pleased to express here my profound gratitude for the support, encouragement, and enlightenment that I have received from individuals and institutions while I completed this project. Thanks are first of all due to my supervisors, Dr Dominic Berry and Prof. Andrew Erskine, for their attention to detail, patience, and flexibility in managing our respective leaves of absence. Dr Berry first drew my attention to the potential of this topic when I was beginning my MA with him at the University of Leeds, and I have benefitted greatly from his enthusiasm and expertise about Cicero in the intervening years. I am also grateful to Drs Gavin Kelly and Ulrike Roth for their feedback and perspective at my annual reviews and in other conversations. Friends and family on both sides of the Atlantic were a constant source of motivation and reassurance; of these, my partner Duncan has my particular thanks (and admiration) for sharing this journey with me. Last but not least, I should like to thank the funding bodies whose support made this project possible.
