Offprint, stapled. Condizione: Gut. pp. 1-20. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise a good and clean copy. - From the text: No theoretical exposition on the nature of ancient rhetoric could illustrate the connection between judicial oratory and theater better than does this vivid description. The scene makes us think of the opening-night performance of a great actor in a long-awaited play. The attendants go about busily assigning places, the audience pours in, sitting on wooden benches or standing about the periphery. The performer appears and a hush falls over the crowd, soon followed by cheers and applause. He begins to speak, and even one who cannot hear his words can see from the response of the crowd that he has captivated them. The equation of Cicero's perfect orator to the great Roman actor Roscius makes explicit the sense that pervades the passage: the tribunal is a stage and the orator an actor.

Offprint, stapled. Condizione: Gut. pp.275-290. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise a very good and clean copy. - From the text: I would like to begin this discussion of Livys first pentad with an unfashionable foray into authorial intention. Let us say that Livy embarked on his vast history of the Roman people shortly after the battle of Actium in 31 B.C., an event that in retrospect can be seen to signal the end to almost a century of civil wars, but that, at the time, might have seemed but a pause in the long succession of bloody internal struggles that had gripped the body politic since the Gracchi.1 The first question facing the historian was where to begin. Few would have faulted him if his history had excluded the legends and myths connected with the founding of Rome and had begun with the institution of the Republic or (like that of Claudius Quadrigarius) with the period following the sack of Rome by the Gauls, when traditions and records were somewhat more trustworthy.2 Attempting to write history with any pretense of accuracy, even starting from the latter event, would have been a daunting task, and Livy knew that the greatest of the Greek historians, Herodotus and Thucydides, had by and large confined themselves to the more recent past, where their own autopsy or that of their informants could serve as the basis for arguing the truth of their accounts.

Reprint, stapled. Condizione: Gut. pp. 203-226. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - A very good and clean copy. - From the text: The reader of Livys first pentad soon becomes aware that people with similar names tend to behave in similar ways. Members of the Valerian gens, for example, are frequently pictured as heroic soldiers and energetic supporters of popular rights: Publius Valerius is associated with Brutus and Collatinus in the overthrow of the Tarquins and wins the cognomen Publicola for championing the rights of the people; Manius Valerius, elected dictator in the midst of internal strife and external threat, fights a signally successful military campaign and thereafter delivers a stirring plea to the Senate on behalf of plebeian rights; L. Valerius Potitus, like his ancestor Publius, plays an important role in the recovery of libertas and the establishment of the rights of the plebeians. The Servilii also display a similarity of character and action within the first pentad: Publius Servilius is the author of a compromise that averts disaster during plebeian agitation for reform of the laws concerning debt, and other Servilii likewise appear at critical junctures to resolve internal faction and restore concordia in the state.
