My PhD-research project within Latin literature and rhetoric focuses on Pliny's Panegyric: a speech praising the reigning emperor Trajan's deeds and virtues. I examine the different traditions forming the foundation of Pliny's speech and the way in which Pliny employs stylistic devices to acquaint his contemporary audience with these traditions.
