SOLEDAD CORREA 2012 1 AGRADECIMIENTOS La presente tesis doctoral es el resultado de una investigación financiada por el CONICET y dirigida por la Dra. Alba C. Romano. Además de a esta prestigiosa institución, sin cuya ayuda un proyecto como éste jamás hubiera llegado a materializarse, debo agradecer especialmente a mi Directora no sólo por haberme sugerido abordar el estudio de la correspondencia ciceroniana –actividad que tantas horas de satisfacción me ha reportado–, sino también por su seguimiento y corrección rigurosos a lo largo de los últimos cinco años. Su permanente aliento y sólida experiencia han sido para mí inestimables. También debo agradecer a mi Co-directora, la Dra. Luisa G. Granato, por su asesoramiento bibliográfico e indispensable orientación en las primeras etapas de este trabajo. Numerosos colegas y profesores, tanto en eventos académicos como en reuniones informales, me han transmitido valiosas observaciones y objeciones que me han ayudado a mejorar mi trabajo. Entre los profesores, destaco la generosa colaboración y las estimulantes discusiones que pude mantener con la Dra. Bianca- Jeanette Schröder (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität), con quien tuve el placer de trabajar durante tres meses gracias a una beca del DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst). Asimismo, deseo expresar mi gratitud hacia el Dr. Matthew Roller (Johns Hopkins University), por haber respondido amablemente a mis consultas y haber discutido conmigo la plausibilidad de algunas de las ideas vertidas en el capítulo cuatro. Quiero también manifestar un profundo agradecimiento a mi querida amiga y colega Marcela Coria, quien leyó minuciosamente no sólo la versión preliminar de cada uno de los capítulos que integran este trabajo, sino también su versión definitiva. A su amistad y apoyo incondicional a lo largo de todo este laborioso proceso no puedo pretender hacerles debida justicia en estas breves líneas. Un agradecimiento especial merece también mi amiga y colega Julieta Cardigni, cuyas lecturas y aliento a la distancia hicieron que esta tarea fuera un poco menos solitaria. No puedo omitir tampoco a otros queridos amigos que me han ayudado en el mismo sentido: Dániel Kiss, Gemma Bernadó Ferrer, Luciana Martínez, Lydia Glorius, Miquel Seguró, Patrizia Marzillo, Rafael Arce, Romina Magallanes y Verónica Orqueda. Por último, quisiera agradecer a mi familia, sin cuyo afecto y confianza en mí este trabajo nunca se hubiera podido llevar a cabo. 2 NOTAS PRELIMINARES ► Todas las citas de la correspondencia de Cicerón corresponden a las siguientes ediciones: ● D.R.

INTRODUCTION HPHE correspondence in this volume (January, B.C. 48- J- February, B.C. 44) opens with a letter to Atticus from Pompey's headquarters in Epirus. There are only nine letters during the fifteen or sixteen months Cicero at which intervene between Cicero's ' departure Pharsalia. One of these is from Cselius . August, B.C. 48. (p. 4), foreshadowing the disaster which soon afterwards befell that facile intelligence but ill-balanced character in- ; and one from Dolabella (p. 6), spired with a genuine wish in which Caesar shared that Cicero should withdraw in time from the chances and dangers of the war. Cicero's own letters deal mostly with the anxiety which he was feeling as to his property at home, which was at the mercy of the Csesarians, and, in case of Pompey's defeat, would doubtless be seized by the victorious party, except such of it as was capable of being concealed or held in trust by his friends.

  • The Religious World of Quintus Aurelius Symmachus
    The Religious World of Quintus Aurelius Symmachus ‘A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy’ 2016 Jillian Mitchell For Michael – and in memory of my father Kenneth who started it all Abstract for PhD Thesis in Classics The Religious World of Quintus Aurelius Symmachus This thesis explores the last decades of legal paganism in the Roman Empire of the second half of the fourth century CE through the eyes of Symmachus, orator, senator and one of the most prominent of the pagans of this period living in Rome. It is a religious biography of Symmachus himself, but it also considers him as a representative of the group of aristocratic pagans who still adhered to the traditional cults of Rome at a time when the influence of Christianity was becoming ever stronger, the court was firmly Christian and the aristocracy was converting in increasingly greater numbers. Symmachus, though long known as a representative of this group, has only very recently been investigated thoroughly. Traditionally he was regarded as a follower of the ancient cults only for show rather than because of genuine religious beliefs. I challenge this view and attempt in the thesis to establish what were his religious feelings. Symmachus has left us a tremendous primary resource of over nine hundred of his personal and official letters, most of which have never been translated into English. These letters are the core material for my work. I have translated into English some of his letters for the first time.

    Roman Citizenship of Italian *Augustales. Evidence, Problems, Competitive Advantages Lindsey VandeVoorde Ghent University Introduction* Although the first academic discussion of ‘the’augustales dates back to the mid-nineteenth century, (1) the difficulty of fully comprehending this socially ambivalent group – wealthy and prestigious but very often with a servile background – remains. Most scholars agree on the basics: the title augustalis (and all its local variants) was used during the first three centuries A.D., and refers to an honorary position in local society. It was mostly bestowed on wealthy freedmen who, because of their servile birth, could not partake in the official cursus honorum. Both the nomination itself and the bestowal of any further privileges or honours connected to it were done by the city council. Two elements, however, complicate the matter. Firstly, we know of over forty variants on the augustalis title. Duthoy introduced his asterisk (*) to cover the wide variety of titles: sevir, sevir augustalis, augustalis, magister augustalis, Herculaneus, quattuorvir, quinquevir, octovir, and so on. Secondly, at the same time, Duthoy’s asterisk amalgamates a tri-institutional reality consisting of annual officers, broader associations of former officers and co- opted members, and former officers who were not ‘incorporated’ as members of the association, but who could continue to bear the title honorifically. (2) Although a minimal definition of ‘the’ *augustalis is possible – Duthoy’s ‘*augustalis moyen’ (3) – *augustales have never formed a single unified * I am greatly indebted to J. Sargeant and N. King for their invaluable help with English spelling and phrasing. All errors of fact and interpretation are mine alone.

  • Phaidros and His Roman Pupils
    PHAIDROS AND HIS ROMAN PUPILS (PLATE 3) CICERO's hostility towards Epicurean philosophy did not extend to the repre- sentatives and champions of this school both in Rome and in Athens. In fact, many of his most intimate friends were Epicureans.' Among these were the three men in charge of the Epicurean school in Athens during Cicero's life time, Zenon, Phaidros, and Patron. Little is known about Zenon and even less about Patron, but our knowledge of Phaidros can be considerably augmented by the study of certain Attic inscriptions.2 It has not been known, until now, whether Phaidros was an Athenian by birth, but his son Lysiades, was an Athenian citizen since he was a member of the Areopagus in 43 B.C.3 J. Sundwall in fact rightly suggested that Phaidros' son was the Athenian archon Lysiades who held office in 51/0 B.C.4 It has not been noted, however, that Lysiades, son of Phaidros, was also ;TvAo/pncrTo3 E'tJ- y?jnjRbefore the last quarter of the first century.5 The inscription honoring him in this capacity (I.G., 12. 3513) contains not only his demotic (BEpEVtKit8n), but also the name of his sister Chrysothemis. It is now possible to recognize in Phaidros son of Lysiades from Berenikidai (I.G., 12, 3897-3899) the Epicurean philosopher Phaidros.' Moreover, it becomes evident that Phaidros belonged to a distinguished Athenian family which can be traced back to the end of the third century before Christ.7 1See C. M. Hall, Class.

Dado que la imagen discursiva que el locutor elabora de sí mismo está anclada en estereotipos o en representaciones colectivas que determinan no sólo la presentación de sí, sino también su eficacia en una cultura dada, en este grupo de cartas exploraremos de qué manera el remitente configurará su ac- cionar bajo el signo de la ejemplaridad. Nuestra hipótesis de trabajo es que esta autofiguración de Cicerón como gobernante ejemplar obedecería a un intento de contrarrestar el problema de la invisibilidad que suponía alejarse de la Vrbs. En efecto, por cuanto la vida política en Roma a fines de la República y a principios del Imperio estaba centrada en la capital, el mero alejamiento del centro de la actividad política suponía una seria amenaza para la imagen pública o persona de Cicerón, cuya posición política era constitutivamente precaria, dada su condición de nouus homo.

    Epistulae ad Atticum Marcus Tullius Cicero Liber I I.1 (10) Cicero Attico Sal. [Rome, shortly before 17 July 65 B.C.] Petitionis nostrae, quam tibi summae curae esse scio, huius modi ratio est, quod adhuc coniectura provideri possit. Prensat unus P. Galba. Sine fuco ac fallaciis more maiorum negatur. Ut opinio est hominum, non aliena rationi nostrae fuit illius haec praepropera prensatio. Nam illi ita negant vulgo, ut mihi se debere dicant. Ita quiddam spero nobis profici, cum hoc percrebrescit, plurimos nostros amicos inveniri. Nos autem initium prensandi facere cogitaramus eo ipso tempore, quo tuum puerum cum his litteris proficisci Cincius dicebat, in campo comitiis tribuniciis a. d. XVI Kalend. Sextiles. Competitores, qui certi esse videantur, Galba et Antonius et Q. Cornificius. Puto te in hoc aut risisse aut ingemuisse. Ut frontem ferias, sunt, qui etiam Caesonium putent. Aquilium non arbitrabamur, qui denegavit et iuravit morbum et illud suum regnum iudiciale opposuit. Catilina, si iudicatum erit meridie non lucere, certus erit competitor. De Aufidio et Palicano non puto te exspectare dum scribam. De iis, qui nunc petunt, Caesar certus putatur. Thermus cum Silano contendere existimatur; qui sic inopes et ab amicis et existimatione sunt, ut mihi videatur non esse adunaton Curium obducere. Sed hoc praeter me nemini videtur. Nostris rationibus maxime conducere videtur Thermum fieri cum Caesare. Nemo est enim ex iis, qui nune petunt, qui, si in nostrum annum reciderit, firmior eandidatus fore videatur, propterea quod curator est viae Flaminiae, quae tum erit absoluta sane facile. Eum libenter nune Caesari consuli aecuderim. Petitorum haec est adhuc informata cogitatio.

When they open, Cicero was enjoying a restful interval after the troublous times of the Civil War. He had made his peace with Caesar and reconciled himself to a life of retirement and literary activity. In the Senate he never spoke except to deliver a speech pleading for the return from e.xile of his friend Marcellus ; and his only other public appearance was to advocate the cause of another friend, Ligarius. In both he was successful ; and, indeed, so he seems also to have been in private appeals to Caesar on behalf of friends.

BY GAIL HAMILTON. Principal Donaldson, of St. Andrew's, an eminent Christian scholar, has startled the Christian world by recanting or recalling his belief that woman owes her present high position to Chris tianity. He finds that the first three centuries of Christianity, so far from having any favorable effect on women, tended to lower their character and contract the range of their activity.
