Abstract

This paper aims to analyse Philippus’s speech of 77 BC according to Sallust’s recreation in Historiae I.77 (Reynolds). Philippus intends to persuade the senate to decree the senatus consultum ultimum, due to Lepidus menace over Rome. We will focus on a textual perspective by means of Discourse analysis, in order to describe the rhetorical strategies displayed in the speech and, ultimately, to reach a deeper understanding of the historical conflict outlined by Sallust.
