Plínio e a sombra tutelar de Cícero

  • Virgínia Soares Pereira Universidade do Minho
Keywords: Cicero, Pliny the Younger, otium and negotium, Letters and immortality

Abstract

This article seeks to evoke Cicero's life and work through the life and work of Pliny the Younger, a deep admirer of the Arpinate. The comparison will focus on three components of each author's work (poetry, oratory and epistolography) against the background of two (almost) parallel lives and the passion they both share for the
studia humanitatis.
