On first becoming consul in 70 bc, Pompey asked his friend Varro to provide him with a manual on how to conduct a session of the senate. The manual was later lost. Varro returned to the subject decades later in one or more letters to Oppianus. Aulus Gellius reports on both stages of Varro's composition, political assistance and literary composition, summarizing the contents of the letter to Oppianus. Here I will attempt to reconstruct the work, putting it in its context and discussing its implications

VARRO关于参议院的文章：一种重构的假设

在公元前70年成为领事时，庞培请他的朋友瓦罗（Varro）向他提供有关如何进行参议院会议的手册。手册后来丢失了。瓦罗（Varro）在数十年后以一封或多封给Oppianus的信中返回主题。Aulus Gellius报告了Varro创作，政治援助和文学创作的两个阶段，并总结了致Oppianus的信的内容。在这里，我将尝试重建作品，将其置于上下文中并讨论其含义。
