International audienceIn this article I focus on the concept of ueritas in relation to grammar and rhetoric during the late Roman Republic, when they were becoming independent disciplines. From an intralinguistic and « auto-nomous » perspective, ueritas can be conceived as a conventional system of verificational procedures which establish the correspondence between each unit and the analogical rules. This is the background of both the grammatical excursus of Cicero’s Orator and Varro’s De Lingua Latina. But another perspective, an extralinguistc and heteronomous one, is also present in the work of these authors. Cicero conceives a philosophical and rhetorical theory of uerisimile, in order to pretend to the same persuasive force which things themselves, i.e. the evidential reality, have. Varro thinks that the reconstruction of a totalising system, such as that of language, governed by analogy, leads to the acquisition of a universal truth which can be discovered via the morpho-etymological analysis of Latin words
