The article focuses on unnoticed tragic echoes from Roman republican drama in the first book of Cicero’s Actio secunda in Verrem, called De praetura urbana. It argues that through the intertextual network with Roman tragedy, Cicero amplifies the extremity of Verres’ behaviour during the two main episodes of the book, namely the thefts of paintings and statues in Greece and the attempted rape of a noble girl in Lampsacus.

Abstract
The article focuses on unnoticed tragic echoes from Roman republican drama in the first book of Cicero’s Actio secunda in Verrem, called De praetura urbana. It argues that through the intertextual network with Roman tragedy, Cicero amplifies the extremity of Verres’ behaviour during the two main episodes of the book, namely the thefts of paintings and statues in Greece and the attempted rape of a noble girl in Lampsacus.File in questo prodotto:
