Beschreibung

In the rich tapestry of 75 A.D., during the sixth year of Vespasians reign, the Dialogus de Oratoribus presents a captivating exploration of the decline of oratory through an engaging dialogue. While its authorship remains a topic of debate—often linked to Tacitus, with some attributing it to Quintilian—the brilliance of this work is undeniable. It artfully investigates the reasons behind the erosion of eloquence, highlighting failures in education both at home and in academic institutions. This text serves as a concise yet profound guide to the art of rhetoric, masterfully blending entertainment with insightful reflection. (Summary by Leni)
