Abstract
Discussion of the chronological problem posed by Cic. Verr. 2.1.90, where Cicero states that the legates of Miletus are waiting for the consular elections for 69 AD, yet these had taken place before the start of the trial of Verres. It is proposed to explain this error as a ‘slip’ by Cicero due to the particular circumstances in which the Actio secunda in Verrem was published; other cases of Ciceronian ‘author’s errors’ attested in the Letters to Atticus are cited.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
