    Abstract:
    This paper aims to evaluate the impact of emotionality on the political decision taken by Cicero in 49: follow Pompey at Brundisium after having repeatedly mediated between him and Caesar. To this end, it was decided to follow the lexical investigation path, using as key-words amor and temeritas which are closely connected in the letter to Atticus 9, 10. After a brief excursus on their semantic base, within the broader philosophical reflection on emotions, a comparison is made between the suspicions of manipulation in Cicero’s practice of friendship and some traces of authenticity in amor erga Pompeium that the same lexicon reveals.
