By including orators from different phases within  the Republican period as well as men given high or low rankings by  contemporaries and later ancient critics, the collection offers a fuller  panorama of Roman Republican oratory than a selection guided simply by  an orator’s alleged or canonical quality, or by the amount of evidence  available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition includes all the orators recognized by  Malcovati and follows her numbering, but the texts have been drawn from  the most recent and reliable editions of the source authors and revised  in light of current scholarship; additional material has been included  with its own separate numbering. Helping to guide readers through the  material are faithful translations, informative introductions, and ample  annotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56449726153078,"sku":"9780674997257","price":24.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_41275541.jpg?v=1778810724","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780674997257-fragmentary-republican-latin-volume-v","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
