Abstract
Based mainly on Martialʼ Epigrams, as well as on the texts of some contemporaryauthors as Juvenalis, Tacitus, and Pliny The Younger, this article studies the recitationes in Rome in the first century A. D. as a cultural phenomenon between orality and literacy. It demonstrates that recitations directly influenced the process of creation, correction and “edition” of latin literary texts of the first century A. D. As a result of this, the importance that oral performance had for literary creation is shown.
