Dialogus de Oratoribus, Tacitus, Rhetoric, HistoryAbstract
This article analyzes the Dialogus de Oratoribus, its structure and themes in their relationship with the conception of History that underlines Tacitus’ works as a whole. It is highlighted that Tacitus partakes the philosophic tradition of the New Academy, and its respective emphasis on equity, as well as the close ties between history and tragedy on what concerns their ethical ends.
