Comparative Studies in Republican Latin Imagery

By Elaine Fantham

This volume establishes some of the limitations governing figurative language in Latin speech and prose, analysing the conservative imagery of Terence and of Cicero's letters, contrasting this naturalistic language with the fantasies of Plautus and the formalization of Cicero's speeches.
