The paper deals with the interpretation of the thought of Appius Claudius Caecus, who, according to tradition, belongs to the first Roman philosophical authors. At the beginning of this paper, the author presents four models of interpretation of the beginnings of Roman philosophy (historical and cultural, idealizing, class, literary) in the thinking of Marcus Tullius Cicero. Later the author deals with the thinking of Appius Claudius Caecus in two issues. The first group of problems concerns the association of Appius Claudius Caecus thinking with the philosophy of Pythagoreism. The second group of problems concerns the status of this author in the interpretation of the beginnings of the history of Roman philosophy.

The aim of this paper is to assess the authenticity of two Arabic commentaries on the Pythagorean Golden Verses attributed to Iamblichus and Proclus and unpreserved in Greek original. First, the Greek, Latin and Arabic traditions potentially referring to such a text are discussed. Second, the structure and the philosophical content of the commentaries are analysed, their key loci being compared to Greek works commenting on the poem. As a result, Pseudo-Iamblichus’s commentary turns out to be written or compiled by an author who did not have access to the Greek text of the poem and must have composed his text in Arabic. As for Pseudo-Proclus’s commentary, it seems to be a real translation of the Greek text, its authorship can tentatively be attributed to Proclus or another late antique Platonist. Both texts turn out to be very good examples of what the medieval Graeco-Arabic translation movement really was.

The present paper offers a new interpretation of the relation between cynic philosophy and Pythagoreism. It tries to shed light on the Antisthenian concept of philosophy as a peculiar blend of Socratic and Pythagorean attitudes and concepts. Its first part deals with Diodoros of Aspendus and his characteristics as a cynic. In the second part, some of the fundamental aspects of cynic philosophy going back to mythical Heracles and his Pythagorean lore are traced. The investigations end with the conclusion that there is no contradiction between the cynic philosophy and Pythagorean way of life.
