The tradition of the manuscripts bequeathed us fifty-three fragments of declaiming by Calpurnius Flaccus, as conventionally the critic has called the author of this set of declamations known as Excerpta. As to the dating of these fragments in the history of Latin literature, some information extracted from the texts themselves, as well as the style of writing and the recurrence of certain themes were used to contextualize them in the first centuries of the Roman Empire. Regarding the themes, Sussman (1994) is categorical in affirming that the portrait painted from Flaccus' declamations, as well as the laws that govern the cases and the situations proposed for the making of the speeches, are far removed from daily life and practices forensics at the time they were written. Given this information, this article aims to show the fictional universe created by Calpurnius Flaccus through the fifty-three fragment of declamations to which we have access.References
