TAPIA ZUNIGA, José. El discurso de Claudio ante el senado (Ann. XI, 24) y la política imperial romana. Acta poét [online]. 2008, vol.29, n.1, pp.171-202. ISSN 2448-735X.

As the greatest historiographers of ancient tradition, Cornelius Tacitus introduces speeches of the most representative characters to his work. This devise respects the unity of style, fundamental for rhetoric art; meaning that every speech goes through a very complex process of reconstruction that would integrate it in an organic way to the whole text. When it is possible to compare the two versions, original, and fictitious, it is possible as well, to establish the relationship in between the perspective of the historian and that of the historic character. This essay tries to establish the relationship between the perspective of Tacitus and that of Claudius, the Roman emperor, about one basic aspect of the Roman imperial politics: the extension of the ius honorum to the provinces, which was the main target of the speech given by Claudius to the senate.
