Cicero, Roman religion, Haruspicum ResponsoAbstract
The article aims to analyze a specific moment in Cicero’s political trajectory, when he returned to the city of Rome after his exile in 56 BCE, and had to deal with the political and religious rivalry of Clodius. As we shall see, in this case, the quarrels between the two romans were due to the prodiges reported by the College of Haruspices. In these debates, Cicero tried to prove that his religious authority made him the true interlocutor with the deities and that Clodius, in various ways, was a profane enemy who needed to be fought for the good of the Republic.
