Cicero's Role Models is written by Henriette van der Blom and published by OUP Oxford. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0191591521 (ISBN 10) and 9780191591525 (ISBN 13).

This book is about the famous Roman orator and statesman Cicero and his rhetorical and political strategy as a newcomer in Roman republican politics. Henriette van der Blom argues that Cicero advertised himself as a follower of chosen models of behaviour from the past - his role models - and in turn presented himself as a role model to others. This new angle provides fresh insights into the political and literary career of one of the best-known Romans, and into the political discourse of the late Roman Republic.
