Abstract
The comparison of the text of the first speech addressed by Dio of Prusa to the city of Tarsus in Cilicia, with what remains of the main Ancient treatises on physiognomy, reveals how much the influence of this so-called "science" on the Greek rhetor was important : theoretically speaking, through several references to the anatomic method ; practically speaking, in the literary treatment of a number of portraits and of poetic quotations -so that it is a major key to understand this speech.
