Abstract

This paper defends the date of the anonymous Invectiva in Ciceronem (Ps. Sallustius) as proposed by Reitzenstein in 1898: i.e. the year 54 B.C. The objections against this date are discussed and refuted. The Invectiva should be connected with the trial against Vatinius, in which Cicero was compelled by the circumstances to blame his ancient friend Bibulus, and to praise Caesar.
