Abstract

ABSTRACT:This article re-examines why Cicero betrothed his daughter Tullia to Furius Crassipes in April of 56 bce. Previous scholarship emphasized social and personal factors in Cicero's decision, but I highlight his political considerations. After returning from exile, Cicero endeavored to handle political affairs with caution and to have good relations with the optimates, Pompey, and Caesar (or at least to offend none of them blatantly). Thus he chose Crassipes, a young man who (insofar as the extant evidence suggests) was born into a family neither politically prominent nor active, to help himself maintain neutrality.

西塞罗为何将图利亚许配给富里乌斯?

摘要：本文重新探讨了公元前56年4月，西塞罗将女儿图利亚许配给弗留斯·克拉西普斯的原因。以前的学术研究强调了西塞罗的决定中的社会和个人因素，但我强调了他的政治考虑。流亡归来后，西塞罗努力谨慎处理政治事务，并与最优秀的庞培和凯撒建立良好的关系（或者至少不公然冒犯他们中的任何一个人）。因此，他选择了克拉西普斯，一个年轻人（就现有证据而言）出生在一个既不突出政治地位也不活跃的家庭，以帮助自己保持中立。
