SUMMARY:

In this paper, we will present an analysis of Seneca the Elder's Excerpt from Controversy 6.8, identifying the rhetorical, historical, and political figures presented in each of the parts that make up such a fictitious legal discourse. Therefore, our work was structured as follows: in the first chapter, we deal with the history and structure of the genre of controversies, in order to contextualize ourselves as to the corpus we select; in the second, we tapered our gaze, properly, to the excerpt of controversy 6.8, so that we could, before performing a more in-depth analysis, know and present the text, in general terms, from the linguistic and rhetorical points of view. Next, we opened a subchapter to perform an analysis of the excerpt of controversy 6.8 in the light of Aristotle's Rhetoric; in the third, we dedicate ourselves to a historical contextualization about the Vestal Virgins, punctuating the most fundamental details for the research, regarding the representation of the goddess Vesta and the rights and duties that concerned her priesthood; in the fourth, we present the figure of Lucrezia, whose figuration in the discourse of the prosecution is quite important so that the accusatory party can achieve its intentions. In addition, we intend to insert, in the same chapter, a historiographical basis about Cato, another prominent personality of Roman society, whose appearance is on the part of the defense, so that the countenance of his presence can counter the argument that speaks of Lucrezia. Finally, in the fifth and final chapter, we will make a general and more in-depth analysis of the excerpt of controversy 6.8 of Seneca the Elder.
