Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1
Propaganda under the cut!
Cicero Propaganda:
This is literally the Cicero Website! You're gonna be on Classics Tumblr and not vote for him??
He saved the republic, you know
All kidding aside, he genuinely wrote some of the most marvelous prose in the Latin language
Martial Propaganda:
Dude basically invented the modern epigram
Was a Huge Bitch and could sling trash talk like no other. A funnier motherfucker you will never meet
Additional propaganda from his dear friend Pliny

Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1
Propaganda under the cut!
Ammianus Propaganda:
Enjoy "Fingers in His Lacunae Sunday"? Well, do I have the text for you
The ethnographies in Ammianus are so fucking neat--he's very interested in the human element, especially in military history
Super cool and accurate description of the 365 Crete Earthquake
Caesar Propaganda
None of these other motherfuckers have a Shakespeare play written about them, do they?
He's everyone's first Latin prose! Accessible, nostalgic, and crisp
The ethnography of the Druids in Book 6 fucking slaps

Latin Literature Tournament - Round 1
Propaganda under the cut!
Livy Propaganda
Wanna teach your kids some exempla virtutis? Look no further
Writes in really fantastic periodic style
An undergrad in a class I TA’d for once referred to him in an essay as “my homeboy Livy,” and frankly there is no review more glowing than that
Sallust Propaganda
Writes prose like it's poetry
Loves to work in fun little archaisms without warning, as a treat
Does really amazing things with speeches and rhetoric
