Abstract
The ancient Greek period is crucial for the development of eloquence as a cultural phenomenon and rhetoric as a science. In this era, the foundations of judicial rhetoric were launched; the foundations of the rhetoric of institutions of proof, justification and persuasion, theory of reasoning and communication theory were laid.The successor to the rhetoric of ancient Greece, in particular the court, was the culture of Ancient Rome, when the law was rapidly developing. And even the decline of ancient culture at the end of the era did not become an obstacle to the development of eloquence. Researchers note that for the era of the republic was not characterized by the cult of a pure word. It is known that the Romans admired Greek rhetoric, were literally fascinated by her beauty. Extremely popular among Roman students acquire rhetorical schools, which, however, are criticized by philosophers. Roman philosophers did not consider rhetoric science. In their opinion, only a philosopher could be really eloquent. As you know, the Roman school of eloquence is represented by two rhetorical styles: Attic and Asian. Researchers argue that the popularity of attitism in society is due to the fall of the republican system in Rome and the disappearance of the tradition of “freedom of speech”, which was a manifestation of democracy. It can be argued that the principle of competition, which originates from agonality as one of the main features of the ancient world, greatly enhances the significance of judicial rhetoric in the court process, makes it relevant to define the requirements for legal speeches and the qualification of professional participants in the court process. However, there are also grounds to believe that the development of oratorical skills of participants in the trial is an important factor in improving the legal system. Once again we are convinced that the development of rhetoric is connected with the socio-political system. During the empire, rhetoric ceases to be a public practice. Elderly language loses its public weight to a certain extent; its scope is narrowed. Rhetoric becomes an occupation of the learned elite and professional speakers, acquires signs of literacy.
