Abstract

Considering the concept of homosexuality in the ancient Rome, we attempt to analise how Cicero expose the Mark Antony's “homosexuality” in his second Philippic. This speech is characterized by political and, mainly, personal accusations from Cicero to Mark Antony, and the Mark Antony's passivity in his intercourses can be considered a topos of this invective speech.
