As a genre uniquely dependent on an immediate interaction between author and audience, ancient oratory becomes performance art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVasaly investigates the way Cicero represented the contemporary physical world--places, topography, and monuments, both those seen and those merely mentioned--to his listeners and demonstrates how he used these representations to persuade. Her exceptionally well-written study deftly recaptures the immediacy of Cicero's oratory and makes a trenchant contribution to an important new area of inquiry in Classical Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614815895703,"sku":"9780520201781","price":3386.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780520201781.webp?v=1775096647","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/representations-images-of-the-world-in-ciceronian-oratory-9780520201781","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
