Mass Oratory and Political Power in the Late Roman Republic Book

This book examines how public, political discourse shaped the distribution of power between the Senate and People in the Late Roman Republic (133 42 BC). It is the first work to analyze comprehensively the 'ideology' of Republican mass oratory and to situate it fully within the institutional, historical and physical contexts of the public meetings in which these speeches were heard. Against the background of the current debate between 'oligarchical' and 'democratic' interpretations of Republican politics, Professor Morstein-Marx emphasizes the perpetual negotiation and reproduction of power through communication.
