REPUBLIC
civitas libera: civitas libera et sui juris: respublica libera; also simply respublica when the context fixes the sense: the monarchy is changed into a republic a regis dominatione in libertatem populi vindicatur respublica: the republic of letters perhaps we may say civitas erudita or litteraria or respublica erudita docta litteraria or doctorum eruditorum hominum; but these phrases denote an actual rather than ideal republic. Some adopt senatus doctorum (from Cic. N.D. 1 34 cum tamquam senatum philosophorum recitares). ☞ Avoid orbis litteratus or eruditus: orbis litteratorum eruditorum although defended by Nolten. Antib. ii. p. 165. Orbis never denotes a number or body of men (Krebs).

republic: best expr. by civitas popularis, Cic. Rep. 1, 26 (def. to be "in qua in populo sunt omnia"): more loosely, libera civitas, id. Off. 3, 21, 84: the R. of Plato, illa commenticia Platonis civitas, id. de Or. 1, 53, 230: the word res publica (or simply res in poet.) is too wide, as it includes all forms of government: still it does expr. the idea sometimes: e. g. "hanc unam rite rem publicam, id est, rem populi, appellari putant," id. Rep. 1, 32. Phr.: on the establishment of a r., aequato jure omnium, Liv. 2, 3: "the r. of letters," *civitas, quae vocatur, omnium eruditorum communis.
