Book Description
The Dialogus de oratoribus is a short work attributed to Tacitus, in dialogue form, on the art of rhetoric. Its date of composition is unknown, though its dedication to Lucius Fabius Justus places its publication around 102 AD. The dialogue itself, set in the 70s AD, follows the tradition of Cicero's speeches on philosophical and rhetorical arguments. It is set in the home of Curiatius Maternus, one of the speakers, to whom two leading lawyers of the day, Marcus Aper and Julius Secundus, have come to discuss a recent event; the fourth speaker, Gaius Vipstanus Messalla Gallus, arrives later. All four men are attested historical personages. The beginning of the work is a speech in defence of eloquence and poetry. It then deals with the decadence of oratory, for which the cause is said to be the decline of the education, both in the family and in the school, of the future orator. The education is not as accurate as it once was; the teachers are not prepared and a useless rhetoric often takes the place of the general culture.

Dialogue on Orators
Author: Tacitus
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
This manuscript will appeal to people who enjoy the ancient Roman period atmosphere and the debate on forgiving inconsistency. Tacitus' Dialogus de oratoribus is a brief philosophical treatise composed in the style of a discussion about the art of rhetoric. It is impossible to pinpoint the exact date of composition. This piece, however, is a tribute to Lucius Fabius Justus and is assumed to have been produced about 102 AD. Publius Cornelius Tacitus was a Roman Empire senator and historian. The book's conversations are set around the 70s AD, continuing in the tradition of Cicero's lectures on philosophical and rhetorical arguments. Set in Curiatius Maternus' mansion, where Marcus Aper and Julius Secundus are discussing recent occurrences. The conversation then moved on to the fourth speaker, Lucius Vipstanus Messalla. This piece starts out with a speech defending poetry and eloquence. Then pertains to the orator's decadence, which is claimed to be the reason for the future orator's decrease in education, both in the household and at school.
