The article analyses the usage of the concept ‘invidia’ in Cicero’s writings. This concept the most often denotes hatred, more rarely – envy, disaffection, disapproval, malevolence, malice. Cicero differentiates between ‘invidia’ and ‘invidentia’: the first means a strong feeling of envy or hatred, while the second – jealousy. It is concluded that Cicero combines ‘invidia’ with ‘odium’, ‘misericordia’, ‘iracundia’, and opposes it to ‘gloria’.
