• Resumen

  • In Epistles 3.14 Pliny subtly promotes his persona as Pliny the Orator by describing Larcius Macedo's murder as a prosecutor might. The first section forcefully condemns the murderers through vivid imagery and references to universal servile threats. The non-legal tone of the second section illustrates Pliny's ability to link friendship with oratory in his letters.
