Invective (from Middle English invectif, or Old French and Late Latin invectus) is abusive, reproachful, or venomous language used to express blame or censure; or, a form of rude expression or discourse intended to offend or hurt;[1][2][3] vituperation, or deeply seated ill will, vitriol.{{clarify|date=May 2017}} The Latin adjective invectivus means 'scolding.'{{citation needed|date=May 2017}} The genre of invectiveThe "genre of invective" or "invective (genre)" or "vituperatio" in Latin is a form of classical libel used in Greek and Roman polemical verse as well as in prose, but its primary context is rhetoric. The rhetorical genre of vituperatio belongs to the genus demonstrativum, which is composed by the praise and blame. During the Roman Republic, personal invectives and character assassination were widely used during the forensic speeches as well as orations. Cicero made a large use of the invectives against his political foes such as Clodius, Catilina (Catilinarian speeches) or Mark Antony (Philippics). The commonly charges are avarice, cupidity, cowardice, effeminacy, drunkenness, low writing and speaking skills, luxury, disapproved sexual habits, tyrannical behaviour, etc. Between 44 BC and 30 BC, the invective became a tool during the propaganda war between Octavian and Mark Antony[4]. Among many other slanders, Mark Antony was accused to have married a foreign queen Cleopatra, to be the submissive subject of her and to have lose his Roman identity. According to this propaganda, Cleopatra would plan to invade Italia. This propaganda before the battle of Actium in 31 BC permits to Octavian to present his campaign as a legitimate war for the safe of the Roman Republic. The preferred literary term for invective of the Renaissance is libel. See also
