=== Republican === [[File:CiceroBust.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Cicero|Marcus Tullius Cicero]], after whom Teuffel named his Ciceronian period of the Golden Age]] [[File:Giulio-cesare-enhanced 1-800x1450.jpg|thumb|upright|Julius Caesar]] The literary histories list includes all authors from Canonical to the Ciceronian Ageβeven those whose works are fragmented or missing altogether. With the exception of a few major writers, such as Cicero, Caesar, Virgil and Catullus, ancient accounts of Republican literature praise jurists and orators whose writings, and analyses of various styles of language cannot be verified because there are no surviving records. The reputations of Aquilius Gallus, [[Quintus Hortensius Hortalus]], [[Lucullus|Lucius Licinius Lucullus]], and many others who gained notoriety without readable works, are presumed by their association within the Golden Age. A list of canonical authors of the period whose works survived in whole or in part is shown here: * [[Marcus Terentius Varro]] (116β27 BC), highly influential grammarian * [[Titus Pomponius Atticus]] (112/109 β 35/32), publisher and correspondent of Cicero * [[Cicero|Marcus Tullius Cicero]] (106β43 BC), orator, philosopher, essayist, whose works define golden Latin prose and are used in Latin curricula beyond the elementary level * [[Servius Sulpicius Rufus]] (106β43 BC), jurist, poet * [[Decimus Laberius]] (105β43 BC), writer of mimes * [[Marcus Furius Bibaculus]] (1st century BC), writer of ''ludicra'' * [[Julius Caesar|Gaius Julius Caesar]] (100β44 BC), general, statesman, historian * [[Gaius Oppius]] (1st century BC), secretary to Julius Caesar, probable author under Caesar's name * [[Gaius Matius]] (1st century BC), public figure, correspondent with Cicero * [[Cornelius Nepos]] (100β24 BC), biographer * [[Publilius Syrus]] (1st century BC), writer of mimes and maxims * [[Quintus Cornificius]] (1st century BC), public figure and writer on rhetoric * [[Titus Lucretius Carus]] (Lucretius; 94β50 BC), poet, philosopher * [[Publius Nigidius Figulus]] (98β45 BC), public officer, grammarian * [[Aulus Hirtius]] (90β43 BC), public officer, military historian * [[Gaius Helvius Cinna]] (1st century BC), poet * [[Marcus Caelius Rufus]] (87β48 BC), orator, correspondent with Cicero * [[Gaius Sallustius Crispus]] (86β34 BC), historian * [[Cato the Younger|Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis]] (Cato the Younger; 95β46 BC), orator * [[Publius Valerius Cato]] (1st century BC), poet, grammarian * [[Gaius Valerius Catullus]] (Catullus; 84β54 BC), poet * [[Gaius Licinius Macer Calvus]] (82β47 BC), orator, poet
