Serve ancora ucidere i tiranni? A proposito di Ps. Quint. decl. min. 253
The paper deals with Ps. Quint. decl. min. 253; in the text, concerning one of the best-known themes of the declamatory literature, a tyrannicide, after killing a tyrant, asks the community for approval of a rogatio in order to be sent to the tyrant of the nearby city. The declamation focuses on a hero willing to put the salvation of the community before his own, a theme certainly usual in Latin thought, but which traces new interpretative ways in the declamatory culture.
Dimenticare(?): come finisce una guerra civile. Un tema retorico e politico tra antico e moderno

Roma, faue coeptis. Pompeo e i Parti nell’ottavo libro della Pharsalia di Lucano
The paper focuses on the section of eighth book of Pharsalia, in which Pompeius discusses with the members of the senate in order to decide the place to find refuge. Particularly, the choice that will bring Pompeius to death in Egypt is determined by the speech of Lentulus: in order to reject proposals for an alliance with the Parthians, he adopts the perspective of the ancient ethnocentrism and his prejudices. Nevertheless, in the architecture of the episode, it is determinant the rhetorical culture of the Author.

Lo spazio della città nelle declamazioni in lingua latina
Latin declamations offer an extraordinary perspective to measure some spatial categories, such as, for example, the one concerning the 'scenography' that is the background on which the protagonists of the declamations move. In this sense emerges the fundamental role of the city as a place that, even in the indefiniteness that distinguishes these texts, not only animates the actions of the protagonists but frequently motivates their behavior.
