As the Roman Republic came to an end in the last century BC, many members of the ruling class, the freest of the free, found that their certainty in the Roman inheritance of freedom had been shaken. The aim of this study is to reconstruct the two most ambitious theories or proto-theories of freedom developed in response to the political changes of the time: the first by Cicero (106-43 BC) and the second by Horace (65-8 BC). Despite substantial differences in both genre and outlook, Cicero and Horace were engaged in a similar project: their aim was to rethink and consolidate an immense body of thought on freedom from both Greece and Rome, including political, moral, metaphysical, and behavioral ideas. Both authors brought this unwieldy material into consistent paradigms, Cicero conceiving of freedom as a matter of mastery or control, Horace preferring a weaker construction of freedom in terms of escape. This study offers an unusual approach to the history of freedom by examining its full disciplinary range, and by accounting for figurative language and rhetorical topics no less than more analytical passages.
