Cicero

Cicero's writing style became popular in the Medieval Ages as they used his rhetorics in their writing almost as constantly as he did. His writings were one of te few Latin writings to survive into the Middle Ages, and therefore became very popular among the people and scholars of the time. His writings were easy to get a hold of at the time, and therefore were present in almost every king and scholar's library. ONne person who it affected inparticular was St. Augustine of Hippo. This man lived in Carthage for a while in 374 A.D. and taught at a school, until he moved to Italy a year later. There he started to teach rhetoric, the language tool patented by Cicero, and start a church in Milan using the Latin rhetoric as his main course of preachin in the Catholic religion.The Catholic Church quickly picked up on this, and made it their own. BOethius is also another man who wrote a book named "The Consolation of Philosophy" which also uses the Ciceroneon rhetoric.
