Abstract

Although Cicero's letter collections were known and read throughout antiquity, traces of his influence on the style of later letter writers and on the organization of their epistolary collections seem to diminish steadily. What remains constant in the extant collections of Cicero, Pliny, Fronto, Symmachus, and Sidonius is the large number of correspondents represented, the preponderance of letters from the period of the writer's highest prestige, and the subject matter of the letters published, which highlights the familial and wider social connections of the writers and their political, financial, and literary interests. All five collections project the ethos and values of a senatorial class.

从西塞罗到西多尼乌斯的元老院书信:一个体裁的出现
尽管西塞罗的书信集在整个古代都为人所知和阅读,但他对后来的书信作者的风格和他们的书信集的组织的影响的痕迹似乎在稳步减少。在现存的西塞罗、普林尼、弗朗托、西马库斯和西多尼乌斯的文集中,保持不变的是大量的通信代表,大部分来自作家最高声望时期的信件,以及出版的信件的主题,这突出了作家的家庭和更广泛的社会联系,以及他们的政治、经济和文学兴趣。这五个系列都体现了参议院阶级的精神和价值观。
