The paper focuses on the presence and the meaning of the adverb paulatim in Tacitus, especially in narrative contexts in which the historian faces with political, historical and institutional transitions or transformations. Although Tacitus seems to follow a historiographical tradition in this use of paulatim, which probably dates back to Sallust, the influence of epic and didactic poetry is not to be excluded.

Abstract

The paper focuses on the presence and the meaning of the adverb paulatim in Tacitus, especially in narrative contexts in which the historian faces with political, historical and institutional transitions or transformations. Although Tacitus seems to follow a historiographical tradition in this use of paulatim, which probably dates back to Sallust, the influence of epic and didactic poetry is not to be excluded.
