Redige par Ciceron en 46 av. J.-C., le Brutus se presente comme une histoire de l'eloquence romaine depuis ses origines et ses sources grecques jusqu'a l'epoque de sa redaction, mais entend surtout repondre aux defis institutionnels et intellectuels qu'a fait naitre la dictature de Cesar. Le traite autorise ainsi des lectures tres diverses, qui sont souvent restees isolees les unes des autres. A travers une approche pluridisciplinaire rassemblant des contributeurs de specialites diverses, cet ouvrage cherche a rendre compte de la reflexion ciceronienne dans toute sa richesse en examinant les enjeux historiographiques, prosopographiques, rhetoriques, philosophiques et politiques du traite. Il propose une reflexion synthetique et originale sur ce texte majeur, essentiel a la comprehension de la Republique tardive.

Cicero’s dialogue Brutus offers a history of Roman eloquence from its origins and Greek roots up to the time of the work’s composition (46 BC) in the late Republic. It forms part of Cicero’s response to the political and intellectual changes brought about by Caesar’s dictatorship and has therefore attracted considerable scholarly attention from a number of fields. However, scholarly discourse has frequently remained isolated. This volume addresses the need to look at Cicero’s treatise from an interdisciplinary angle and assembles contributions from scholars of historiography, prosopography, rhetoric, philosophy and politics. It thus puts forward a coherent and genuine interpretation of Cicero’s Brutus that showcases the significance of this text for our understanding of the final years of the Roman Republic.
