Resumo(s)
This chapter looks at how Choricius represents and ‘constructs’ his native city, Gaza, as an ideal intellectual space: a privileged city of learning, a peaceful and calm environment in which ideas can be exchanged, and where town and gown not only coexist harmoniously side by side but are also mutually supportive. In his encomiastic orations Choricius places a strong emphasis on the Gazan officials’ skills in the non-violent resolution of conflicts, while in Declamation 12 the orator-hero (an idealised version of Choricius himself) appears as the guarantor of the city’s well-being and prestige.
