Death and Transfiguration:
The Tomb of Bibulus and the Remaking of Rome
Dr. Tyler Lansford, ��«��Ƶ

Monday, October 25th, 2021 | 7:00 p.m. | Virtual Webinar

Towards the end of the Roman Republic, a minor magistrate called Gaius Publicius Bibulus was accorded the honor of public burial at the southern end of the Campus Martius. Despite the small size and relative fragility of his tomb, its inscribed facade has remained in situ and visible for more than two millennia – a persistent if unlikely witness to the tremendous cycles of collapse and recovery, death and renewal that have transformed central Rome beyond recognition down the centuries.

This lecture is free and will be hosted on Zoom.
This lecture is sponsored by Mary E.V. McClanahan. CU Classics is grateful for her generous support.

Classical Rhetoric in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar

Among Shakespeare’s ‘Roman’ plays, Julius Caesar is arguably the most Roman in both substance and form: not only is the title character Rome’s premier imperialist – the very language breathes a uniquely authentic Roman atmosphere. A characteristic aspect of this Romanitas or ‘Roman-ness’ is the central importance of public eloquence: in true Roman fashion, it is persuasive speech that carries the day (‘Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!’). This talk explores the manner in which the ars rhetorica of Aristotle, Cicero and Quintilian pervades and animates Shakespeare’s searching meditation on the justice of tyrannicide.

Tyler Lansford (Ph.D., University of Washington) is an instructor in the Department of Classics. Rhetorical demonstrations will be provided by Andy Walker, who played Decius Brutus/Pindarus in the Colorado Shakespeare Festival’s 2017 production of Julius Caesar.

Sponsored by Mary E.V. McClanahan and the Department of Classics. Parking available just north of the Eaton Humanities at 1610 Pleasant St.
