Abstract
The focus of this paper is the tension engendered in the thought processes of Macrobius and his contemporaries by the coexistence of two diverging ways of viewing plagiarism (one epic-Platonic and the other Roman juridical). The paper will also examine the tools Macrobius employed in order to attempt a reconcilia tion. The paper therefore focuses on developments in rhetorical terminology at the beginning of the 5th century AD as a result of the admixture of traditional termi nology and contemporary innovation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
