Abstract

Historical characters show a permanent and dialogical relation with their predecessors in literary and historiographic tradition. That is why it is possible to find among them similar characteristics that make them look like a typical Catiline, a true Clytemnestra or a real Atreus. This paper is based on six of those historiographic portraits taken and translated from the works of Tacitus, the most acclaimed Roman historiographer.
