Sumario:The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between religious knowledge and belonging to the group of the <i>boni cives</i>, as formulated by Cicero in his speech <i>De haruspicum responso</i>. We argue that, both when he rejects Clodius' accusations and when he presents his own interpretation of the <i>responsum</i>, Cicero claims the correlation between knowledge of religio and political <i>auctoritas</i>. Then we turn to the definition of <i>deteriores cives</i> in order to observe how Cicero includes Clodius in this group, excluding him from the group of <i>boni cives</i>, because of his violation of every single religious norm and his conspi- ration against the harmony of the <i>optimates</i>. Finally, we present an analysis of the sources of religious authority and its connection to the Roman identity as presented in sections 18-19 of the speech.
