OverviewA revised Greek text and English translation of the Art of Political Speech by a writer known as Anonymous Seguerianus (ca A.D. 200), and the Art of Rhetoric Apines of Gadara (ca A.D. 230), with introduction, notes, and indices. These works provide evidence of how rhetoric was taught in Greek in the early centuries of the Roman Empire and show the continued development of an Aristotelian tradition before acceptance of the reorganization of the subject by Hermogenes. They complement each other in that the Anonymous was especially interested in debates about rhetorical theory, while Aspines' primary interest was in analysis of speeches of Demosthenes and other orators and in teaching declamation.
