The Ancient Greek and Roman scholars Aristotle, Isocrates, Cicero, and Quintilian, along with their writings on rhetoric, have had an enduring impact on the field of communication studies, especially "organisational rhetoric” (another term for PR), and subfields such as issues management and public affairs (see Heath 2006; Marsh, 2016).
