This paper argues that plants are sometimes made to play the role of “biographical objects” in Greek and Roman texts. The stories linking plants and three rulers (Attalus iii, Mithradates vi, and Juba ii) suggest that the rhetoric of power associated with the Greek or oriental practice of botany was only progressively accepted by the Romans.

Les histoires qui lient des plantes et trois rois (Attale iii, Mithridate vi et Juba ii) suggèrent que la rhétorique du pouvoir associée à la pratique grecque ou orientale de la botanique ne fut que progressivement acceptée par les romains.
