Abstract

The article is based on some extracts from Cicero’s dialogic and epistolary production, prior to the death of Caesar. It deals with the meaning of ‘virtue’ first in relation to the gestation and publication of De republica, an expression of active virtue; then in relation to the forced idle phase of the Arpinate, dedicated to the activity of translation. The two phases of action and speculation appear to be respectively marked by the models of virtue embodied by the two Catos: on one side the Major, on the other the Uticense. The contrasting consideration of the locality of Tusculum sums up the contradiction. The leitmotiv is therefore virtue, researched, theorised, variously understood and interpreted by Arpinate with the changed political and family conditions.
