Elio Aristide e la retorica della città di Roma: echi di modelli greci e paradigmi giuridici
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In a significant passage in his Εἰς Ρώμην, Aelius Aristides uses the terms ἄστυ κοινόν to describe Rome. This expression is commonly considered a Greek translation of the Latin words communis patria. A new contextual and terminological analysis of Aristides’ use of the terms, however, demonstrates that he was actually drawing on the older Hellenic models that also influenced Cicero’s writings on the Roman idea of communis patria.
