Note 18 — Chapter V · THE PROSE OF THE ROMAN STATESMEN

Reading edition

N. Häpke, C. Semproni Gracchi Fragmenta (Munich, 1915). This editor finds a few instances of prose rhythms in Gracchus. I do not think that Gracchus was conscious of them, since they occur in about the same ratio as in Sallust or Caesar, who could hardly be accused of encouraging the rhythmic style.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
