Andrea BALBO
ABSTRACT
Oratory and violence in late Antiquity: Calpurnian declamations. This paper aims to analyze the expressions of violence in the declamatory fragments of Calpurnius Flaccus, perhaps dated to the 3rd century AD. The violence is predominating in the narration of the judicial facts and concerns both the actions and their description.
