Readings of Cicero'sad Fam. 15 commonly focus on Cicero's bid for asupplicatioin 51b.c.e., which supplies this book of letters with one of its most dominant refrains. Yet this emphasis sits oddly with the book's position within the letter collection as a whole. This article argues that whoever organized the books of thead Fam.into sequence has invested the idea of thesupplicatio,and of Cicero's aspiration for a triumph, with a new metaphorical significance that it would not have had at the time of the letters’ writing. My reading attempts to locate this retrospective significance and to trace the portrait of Cicero that emerges from it.

西塞罗读物广告家族. 15 通常关注西塞罗对恳求在 51公元前.，它为这本字母书提供了最重要的副歌之一。然而，这种强调与这本书在整个信件集中的位置很奇怪。本文认为，无论是谁组织了广告家族。into sequence 已经投入了这个想法恳求，以及西塞罗对胜利的渴望，具有新的隐喻意义，这在写信的时候是不会有的。我的阅读试图定位这种回顾性意义，并追溯从中出现的西塞罗肖像。
