The Speech of Two Augustan-Age Declaimers, Arellius Fuscus and Papirius Fabianus
The collection of the elder Seneca assembles quotations from scores of declaimers over a period spanning sixty years, from the Augustan Age through the early decades of the empire. A view is offered onto a literary scene, for this critical period of Roman letters, that is numerously populated, highly interactive, and less dominated by just a few canonical authors.

The collection of the elder Seneca is an underutilized resource for understanding the highly interactive literary scene of the Augustan Age and beyond. This book gives voice to two prominent declaimers: Arellius Fuscus, rhetor to Ovid, and Papirius Fabianus, teacher of the younger Seneca. Using the ¿shared locus¿ as a key organizing principle, the author offers new insights into declamation and its interconnections with canonical literature.
