A retórica da morte na narrativa de Tito Lívio (século I a.c.)

Abstract

The article discusses some conceptual issues and policies of the relationship between death and rhetoric in Ab Urbe Condita by Livy. We are going to describe some reflections on the voluntary death of the aristocrat Lucrezia and thus understand the relevance of its political role in historical discourse from the memory apparatus, which are linked to the art of persuasion, and their interference in the social space during the first century B.C.
