Description:
Examining how public political discourse influenced the distribution of power between the Senate and people in the Late Roman Republic (133-42 BC), this work analyzes comprehensively the "ideology" of Republican mass oratory.

Morstein-Marx emphasizes the perpetual negotiation and reproduction of power through communication.
