Definición

  • In the vocabulary of the Roman historians Sallust, Tacitus, and Quintus Curtius and the philosophers Seneca and Cicero, the term multitudo is one among many to refer, more or less pejoratively, to the crowd, the populace, or the masses. It appears in the margins of some philosophical texts from the Middle Ages, but it is only in the context of early modern political thought that it becomes a major concept (in its Latin and English form).
