Abstract
The origins of the abov mentioned works can be traced back to the late second century BC, when written orations clearly became a common practice in Rome. It is these early memoirs, such as the elogia of famous men, their epitaphs and records of their deeds that produced the first elements of political autobiography and allowed for the development of conunentarii and res gestae. Public image evidently became a matter of some concern for republican politicians, as increasingly they wished to be remembered in some way.
