　　This book highlights the role played by public, political

discourse in shaping the distribution of power between Senate and

People in the Late Roman Republic. Against the background of the

debate between 'oligarchical' and 'democratic' interpretations of

Republican politics, Robert Morstein-Marx emphasizes the perpetual

negotiation and reproduction of political power through mass

communication. The book analyses the ideology of Republican mass

oratory and situates its rhetoric fully within the institutional

and historical context of the public meetings (contiones) in which

these speeches were heard. Examples of contional orations, drawn

chiefly from Cicero and Sallust, are subjected to an analysis that

is influenced by contemporary political theory and empirical

studies of public opinion and the media, rooted in a detailed

examination of key events and institutional structures, and

illuminated by a vivid sense of the urban space in which the contio

was set.

emphasizing the role of public oratory in the negotiation of power

between mass and elite ? Provides a theoretically informed analysis

of published orations, balanced by close attention to the

historical sources and a vivid sense of the urban space in which

the phenomenon was located
