Abstract

This article reviews select aspects of Panaetius’ philosophy in order to revisit certain propositions that were circulating and were accepted by many Romans in and around the 2nd century BC. Orienting this study is the theory of the four personae, traditionally attributed to Panaetius. This review will first show that the different theoretical elements of the Stoic philosophical system illuminate each other because they are interconnected and interdependent; and, second, it will lend further arguments in favour of ascribing the theory of the four personae to Panaetius
