This book offers an examination of Cicero's speech, the "Pro
Balbo," which was delivered during a momentous period of Roman
history, in defence of a highly influential political advisor of
Caesar who was charged under the "lex Papia" for an illegal grant
of citizenship. The first detailed study of the speech, this study
analyzes the work according to the ancient rhetorical categories:
types of arguments ("inventio": ethos, pathos and logos), the
arrangement of these arguments ("dispositio"), and the use of style
("elocutio"). Kimberly Barber takes a thorough look at Cicero's
technique, providing an understanding of the speech and
illuminating the rhetorical issues raised by its legal context.
