In an epilogue I draw the book’s threads together and provide an aperçu on the late antique and early medieval reception of Cicero, which is very different. Throughout the early Empire, Cicero had been little valued as a philosopher, not least because those who wanted to read philosophy could read his Greek sources. With the advent of Christianity and the progressive erosion of Greek in the West, however, his stock as a philosopher began to rise. It became less and less necessary to look to him as a model of a Latinity whose character had fundamentally shifted, and less and less possible to understand or relate to the political situation of a completely alien time, but more and more desirable to find improving moral elements in his philosophica. Augustine, a Greek-less Christian, encapsulates this trend, and I briefly explore the decisive role of Cicero’s philosophical works in his formation.
