Abstract

Abstract: Assumptions about the tirocinium fori are based on claims by Joachim Marquardt that it was a form of training for young elite Romans at about the age of 16, that it lasted for one year, and that it consisted of mentorship by a distinguished elder. Though there is little evidence to support these claims, the theory of a tirocinium fori continues to influence discussions of oratory in the age of Cicero, where it gives a false picture of the process by which aspiring young orators made the transition from the school of rhetoric to practice in the courts.

西塞罗与Tirocinium Fori的幻影

摘要:关于tirocinium fori的假设是基于约阿希姆·马夸特(Joachim Marquardt)的说法，他认为这是一种对16岁左右的罗马年轻精英的训练形式，持续一年，由一位杰出的长者指导。尽管几乎没有证据支持这些说法，但在西塞罗时代，tirocinium fori理论继续影响着关于演讲的讨论，在西塞罗时代，它对有抱负的年轻演说家从修辞学校过渡到法庭实践的过程给出了错误的描述。
