Pliny's Panegyricus (AD 100) survives as a unique example of
senatorial rhetoric from the early Roman Empire. It offers an
eyewitness account of the last years of Domitian's principate, the
reign of Nerva and Trajan's early years, and it communicates a
detailed senatorial view on the behaviour expected of an emperor.
It is an important document in the development of the ideals of
imperial leadership, but it also contributes greatly to our
understanding of imperial political culture more generally. This
volume, the first ever devoted to the Panegyricus, contains expert
studies of its key historical and rhetorical contexts, as well as
important critical approaches to the published version of the
speech and its influence in antiquity. It offers scholars of Roman
history, literature and rhetoric an up-to-date overview of key
approaches to the speech, and students and interested readers an
authoritative introduction to this vital and under-appreciated
speech.
