State of Speech Rhetoric & Political Thought in Ancient Rome Rhetorical theory, the core of Roman education, taught rules of public speaking that are still influential today. But Roman rhetoric has long been regarded as having little important to say about political ideas. "The State of Speech" presents a forceful challenge to this view. The first book to read Roman rhetorical writing as a mode of political thought, it focuses on Rome's greatest practitioner and theorist of public speech, Cicero. Through new readings of his dialogues and treatises, Joy Connolly shows how Cicero's treatment of the Greek rhetorical tradition's central questions is shaped by his ideal of the republic and the citizen. Rhetoric, Connolly argues, sheds new light on Cicero's deepest political preoccupations: the formation of individual and communal identity, the communicative role of the body, and the "unmanly" aspects of politics, especially civility and compromise. Transcending traditional lines between rhetorical and political theory, "The State of Speech" is a major contribution to the current debate over the role of public speech in Roman politics. Instead of a conventional, top-down model of power, it sketches a dynamic model of authority and consent enacted through oratorical performance and examines how oratory modeled an ethics of citizenship for the masses as well as the elite. It explains how imperial Roman rhetoricians reshaped Cicero's ideal republican citizen to meet the new political conditions of autocracy, and defends Ciceronian thought as a resource for contemporary democracy. |

The Goff This is a one-of-a-kind copy of the first published book on the game of golf. Initially published in 1743 by Thomas Mathison, The Goff: An Heroi-Comical Poem in Three Cantos it is one of the rarest and most sought after books in the golf library. The book is actually a poem about a mythical golf match between heroes of ancient Greece and Rome. The Goff was printed in limited quantities and although subsequent editions were produced in 1763 and 1793, only a few dozen copies remain today many of which reside in libraries. This copy is extremely unique because its an exact reprinting of the 1743 first edition that is known among rare golf book dealers as the Dresden Copy. It is a renegade one-of-a-kind copy that was printed and bound sometime between 1890 and 1910. The paper has been dated stamped and all indications are that someone used an original first to set the type perfectly in order to create this exquisite reproduction. Extremely collectible and housed in a custom handmade leather clamshell. |

A. Rome grew from a village that was first established around 10,000BC,. So it's been around for a very long time and you need to be very clear about the era on which you're seeking information. The Roman Republic was established in 509BC. No-one really knows the true population figures for Rome. At the height of the imperial Roman empire population figures for the city vary from 450,000 to 14million!
