Cicero's brief rhetorical dialogue Partitiones oratoriae has
hitherto been largely neglected by scholars. Unjustly so, maintains
Arweiler, who analyses the text as an independent textbook of
rhetoric. He conducts his interpretation with constant reference to
Cicero s great rhetorical works (primarily De oratore) and
philosophical writings. Thus, rhetoric gives power over opponents
in disputes, and consequently over political opponents. Against
this background, the author shows how successfully Cicero projects
himself in the Partitiones oratoriae as a 'scholar in politics'. In
the eyes of his contemporaries, this dual function gave him a
dominant role in Roman society and politics equal to that of
Caesar, and it is no coincidence that Caesar dedicated his own
linguistic publication De analogia to Cicero."
