The Greek author Dionysius of Halicarnassus came to Rome in 30/29
BC. He learnt Latin, developed a network of students, patrons and
colleagues, and started to teach rhetoric. He published a history
of early Rome (Roman Antiquities), and essays on rhetoric and
literary criticism, including On the Ancient Orators, On
Composition, and several letters. This volume examines how
Dionysius' critical and rhetorical works are connected with his
history of Rome, and the complex ways in which both components of
this dual project - rhetorical criticism and historiography - fit
into the social, intellectual, literary, cultural and political
world of Rome under Augustus. How does Dionysius' interpretation of
the earliest Romans resonate with the political reality of the
Principate? And how do his views relate to those of Cicero, Livy
and Horace? This volume casts new light on ancient rhetoric,
literary criticism, historiography and the literary culture of
Augustan Rome.
