Cicero and Varro were not the closest of friends. We know of only comparatively few letters of Cicero’s addressed to Varro, and we remember how embarrassing a task it proved for Cicero to dedicate one of his works to the Reatine polymath.1 Scholars have always wondered why their relationship was not a particularly intimate one, and in fact rather the opposite. Both were born from regional elites and had to work their way through the Roman cursus honorum (Varro stopped after having reached the praetorship); both joined Pompey’s side in the Civil War and, later on, fell victim to the proscriptions which only Varro was lucky enough to survive. They had close friends in common, most conspicuously Pomponius Atticus; both were interested in philosophy and in research on the Roman past, illustrious protagonists in the process of rationalization Claudia Moatti has described so impressively in her magisterial book La raison de Rome;2 both were deeply worried about imminent loss of tradition.3 So we might imagine that their similar biographical backgrounds, similar interests and similar conservative anxieties should have provided more than enough common ground, but what we encounter from Cicero’s part amounts to nothing more than distant politeness and a less than enthusiastic and sometimes rather grudging acknowledgement of Varro’s merits. To try to explain what may have prevented them from becoming close friends would amount to indulging in psychological speculation; what will be attempted here is rather to take a closer look at what has been labeled their ‘conservativism’ or, to put it in a more neutral way, their perspective on the
西塞罗和瓦罗并不是最亲密的朋友。我们所知道的西塞罗写给瓦罗的信件相对较少，我们还记得西塞罗要把他的一部作品献给罗马博学家是多么尴尬的一件事学者们一直想知道为什么他们的关系不是特别亲密，事实上恰恰相反。两人都出身于地区精英阶层，必须通过罗马荣誉课程(Varro在达到裁判官职位后就停止了工作);他们都在内战中加入了庞培的阵营，后来成为了禁赛的受害者，只有瓦罗幸运地活了下来。他们有共同的好朋友，最著名的是庞波尼乌斯·阿迪克斯;他们都对哲学和对罗马历史的研究感兴趣，他们都是理性化过程中杰出的主角，克劳迪娅·莫阿蒂在她的权威著作《罗马的理由》(La reason de Rome)中如此令人印象深刻地描述了这一点;他们都深深担心传统即将消失因此，我们可以想象，他们相似的传记背景，相似的兴趣和相似的保守焦虑应该提供了足够多的共同点，但我们从西塞罗的部分中所遇到的只不过是遥远的礼貌，以及对瓦罗优点的不那么热情，有时甚至是勉强的承认。试图解释是什么阻止了他们成为亲密的朋友，无异于沉溺于心理臆想;在这里，我们要做的是更仔细地审视他们的“保守主义”，或者用一种更中立的方式来说，他们对世界的看法

This paper considers when and how annalistic organization by the consular year came to be established in the Roman historiographical tradition. It argues that Fabius Pictor gave a year-by-year account of events from at least the early third century bc, but narrated only selected years in the early Republic, that Ennius followed this example, and that Piso was the first Roman historian to provide a narrative organized by magistrate years for the whole of the Republic. The annual record kept by the pontifex maximus will have been used as a source by Fabius and perhaps some of his successors, but did not play the dominant part in shaping the character of Roman historical writing with which it has often been credited. The term annales was invented by Ennius as the title for his epic, and then taken over as their title by Piso and some of his successors. It thus became established as a designation for a history of Rome organized by magistrate years, and so came to be applied by extension also to the Pontifex Maximus’ record, under the distinctive title of Annales maximi. These conclusions have important implications both for the credibility of early Roman history and for the character of Roman historical writing.

Many of the Roman historians whose works survive only in fragments were well-known persons whose lives and careers are fully documented.1 They include such major public figures as Cato the Elder, the dictator Sulla, and the emperor Augustus,2 and famous men of letters such as Cicero, Varro, and Cornelius Nepos.3 For these men the writing of history or autobiography was merely one aspect of their many and multifarious activities. The same is true of other less prominent but nonetheless significant men who added the composition of historical works to their distinguished public achievements – men such as L. Calpurnius Piso Frugi (cos. 133 BCE), P. Rutilius Rufus (cos. 105), and L. Cornelius Sisenna (pr. 78).4 At the other extreme are those who are known solely as historians, and are only quoted or referred to as such in our sources. Of their lives and careers we know little or nothing. The historians in this group include L. Cassius Hemina, Cn. Gellius, L. Coelius Antipater, and Q. Claudius Quadrigarius,5 as well as others for whom we do not even have a praenomen: Vennonius, Sempronius Asellio and Valerius Antias.6 As for Fenestella (FRHist 70), who lived in the time of Augustus, we know only his cognomen. But between these two extremes there is a large group of historians whose identity is uncertain. The level of uncertainty differs in each case. At one end of the spectrum we find historians such as L. Cincius Alimentus (FRHist 2), who is almost certainly to be identified with the man of that name who held the praetorship in 210 BCE (Liv. 26.23.1) and appears several times in Livy’s narrative of

Cicero’s speeches provide numerous models of how documents could be interpreted publicly (and thus accountably) to reach conclusions about the past. The available means are diverse and powerful, and they allow a motivated interpreter considerable opportunity to reach any expected or desired conclusion. There is reason to believe that similar strategies would have been used in historical contexts and thus that use of documentary evidence might have constrained Roman historians less than has sometimes been imagined.
