 abstract={The dawn of the new regime introduced a step-by-step limitation of freedom of speech, which brought about the fading of republican leanings in Roman high society. During the reign of Augustus and Tiberius, famous cases of Titus Labienus and Cassius Severus as well as Mamercus Scaurus and Cremutius Cordus became symbols of curbing freedom of speech by means of book burning. A gradual deepening of control over written works was to be expected in due course, as emperors took further steps on a path to an increasingly authoritarian regime. Therefore, it would be understandable if burning the writings of dissident authors became a common measure during the of ‘reigns of terror’ under Nero and Domitian. Surprisingly, only a scant few mentions of such events from that time survived. The article deals with the incidents od book-burning in the times of two authoritarian rulers: Nero and Domitian, namely those of Fabricius Veiento, Herennius Senecio and Arulenus Rusticus. They analysed in light of ancient sources and the contemporary state of knowledge, as well as the context of the role they played in a complex system of curbing of what was left of republican freedom of speech.},
