Summary/Abstract: The study deals with the analysis of Cicero’s arguments in the fifth paradox from the Stoic Paradoxes. In the first argumentative step, Cicero questions the political meaning of the word commander-in-chief (imperator). In the second argumentative step he focuses on the term freedom (libertas) and in the third on the word slave (servus). Instead of the legal-political meanings of these terms, Cicero prefers to define them ethically based on Stoic philosophical principles. At the end of the article, the author of the study presents two hypotheses that see behind the commander-in-chief character two political representatives of the Roman Republic (Mark Antony and Julius Caesar).
