Description
Summary:The material is divided into two main parts: (A) an introduction handling historical background, comparing the “twin” speech delivered before the people, and discussing Cicero’s strategy and the textual transmission, and (B) the commentary proper. Though he cites W. J. Tatum’s The Patrician Tribune: Publius Clodius Pulcher (Chapel Hill 1999) on occasion, he has evidently not taken on board the more independent role that Tatum ascribes to Clodius (and is now widely accepted). The discussion could have been enriched by reference to Cicero’s practice in other contiones. [...]the strong divine element in Red. pop. is comparable to Catil. 3; and the accumulation of second person plural pronouns/pronominal adjectives at Red. pop. 5–6 is paralleled at Agr. 2.1–2: it is Cicero’s way of engaging and ingratiating himself with the people.
