This article examines Cicero's concept of the artes liberales within his larger vision for education. Starting with the codification of a curriculum in the work of Martianus Capella, it explores the reception of Cicero's works in the early development of the canon before turning back to the contexts of Cicero's original thinking on the subjects. In particular, it illustrates how Cicero sought to broaden the curriculum and make the artes relevant for life in first-century BC Rome, combining traditional Greek learning with innovative topics on modern history and political science. In so doing I suggest some of the ways in which Cicero's arguments on the value of a broad education still echo in our ideas of the Liberal Arts today before ending with some reflections on the political context in which they were produced. ; Cet article examine le concept des artes liberales de Cicéron dans le cadre de sa vision plus large de l'éducation. En commençant par la codification d'un programme d'études dans l'œuvre de Martianus Capella, il explore la réception des œuvres de Cicéron dans les premiers temps du développement du canon avant de revenir aux contextes de sa pensée originale sur ces sujets. En particulier, il illustre la manière dont Cicéron a cherché à élargir le programme et à rendre les artes pertinents pour la vie dans la Rome du Ier siècle avant J.-C., en combinant l'apprentissage traditionnel du grec avec des sujets innovants sur l'histoire moderne et les sciences politiques. Ce faisant, je suggère certaines façons dont les arguments de Cicéron sur la valeur d'une éducation large font encore écho dans nos idées sur les arts libéraux aujourd'hui, avant de terminer par quelques réflexions sur le contexte politique dans lequel ces artes ont été produits. ; Il presente articolo esamina il concetto ciceroniano di artes liberales nel più ampio contesto del suo progetto educativo. Prendendo le mosse dalla codificazione di un vero e proprio curriculum nell'opera di Marziano Capella, il lavoro indaga la ricezione delle opere di Cicerone nel primo sviluppo del canone, per poi tornare ai contesti originali del pensiero ciceroniano sulle discipline. In particolare, il lavoro illustra in che modo Cicerone abbia cercato di ampliare il curriculum e di rendere le artes rilevanti per la vita quotidiana nella Roma del I sec. a.C., intrecciando il tradizionale apprendimento del greco con argomenti innovativi relativi alla storia e alla politica contemporanee. Seguendo questa traccia, l'autrice avanza alcune ipotesi sui modi in cui gli argomenti di Cicerone a favore di un programma educativo ampio possano essere ravvisati nell'idea di arti liberali che abbiamo ancora oggi, concludendo con qualche riflessione sul contesto politico da cui tali artes emersero.
