For Tony and Shane
magistris optimis
Writing is hard in the best of times but almost impossibly so, to paraphrase Lucretius, when ones country seems on the verge of collapse. Our contemporary political climate, and the worry that we too now are in the throes of experiencing our own political bodys disintegrationdi meliora!has made my task more difficult at times than it otherwise might have been. My unhealthy obsession, bordering almost on the pathological, with the plague of hypocrisy and scandal that floods almost daily in recent years from our nations capital, has on more than one occasion threatened to derail my progress entirely. Fortunately, a constant stream of support from advisors, institutions, and friends has always been there to call me back. Among those owed particular gratitude for keeping my humors balanced and helping to ease my anxious mind are: Shane Butler and Tony Corbeill (inspirational advisors, friends, and teachers both, to whom this book is dedicated as a token of lasting thanks), Antony Augoustakis (who has kept me on track and helped more than he likely knows), Kirk Sanders (for lunches, Lil Wayne, and sanity), Angeliki Tzanetou (for support and conversation), Dan Leon (for coffee), Amy Richlin and Bob Gurval (for comments on early drafts of this work when it was still a dissertation), and Michael Brumbaugh, Craig Russell, and Jessica Westerhold (for friendship and advice over the years). Roger Brock and Tom Stevenson shared copies of hard-to-find works and their helpful expertise. Carol Symes gave me productive feedback and kind encouragement at a crucial stage. Colleagues and friends in the department of the Classics at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign have provided a pleasant and receptive environment in which to think and write, while a grant by the University of Illinois Campus Research Board freed me from teaching for a semester, enabling me to carry out much-needed additional research. The suggestions of the anonymous readers from the press have also been very helpful, even where I have failed to follow them. Through it all Julia Hawthorne and Atticus Hawthorne-Walters, my amazing wife and son, have kept me happy, healthy, and entertained.

I send it through the rivers of your blood
William Shakespeare, Coriolanus
In late republican Rome opposing political visions were commonly hashed out in imagery of the human body and its afflictions. In speeches, poems, letters, philosophical tracts, and histories, Cicero and his contemporaries obsessed over the perceived diseases, disfigurements, and traumas of their states political body. To judge from earlier evidence to survive, albeit fragmentary and sparse, it appears their predecessors had done the same. Specific diagnoses were often flashpoints of contention, revealing fierce disagreements over policies and the disposition of the republic. With no written constitution and a political elite who, in the words of one commentator, showed little interest in defining their government in philosophically rigorous terms, imagery of the body politic took on a determinative role.
