Abstract
The subject of this investigation is the presentation of the Hellenistic preceptive of the rhetor Hermagoras in the series of speeches In Catilinam pronounced by Cicero in the year 63 a. C. The theory of stasis’ examination concerns the argumentative proposal of this Latin speaker. The theoretical framework consists of classical rhetoric, specifically in the contributions of Hermagoras, added to the interpretations of the Latin rhetores (Cicero, the auctor of Rhetorica ad Herennium and Quintilian), in addition to the complement of contemporary academics. As well, is remarkable the contribution of two kinds of stasis to the speeches, the coniectura and the qualitas, in addition to other rhetoric devices such as the contio and the vituperario.
