Cicerone (106-43 a.C.) fu l'oratore più brillante della storia classica. Perfino uno degli uomini che ne autorizzò l'assassinio, l'imperatore Ottaviano, ammise al nipote che Cicerone era: ''un uomo eloquente, ragazzo mio, eloquente e amante della patria''. Questa nuova selezione di discorsi illustra la fiera lealtà di Cicerone alla Repubblica romana, offrendo una panoramica della sua oratoria dalle prime vittorie nelle corti di giustizia all'apice della sua carriera politica al Senato. Lo vediamo influenzare le opinioni della folla e degli uomini più potenti di Roma, a favore di Pompeo Magno e contro il cospiratore Catilina, mentre Le Filippiche, considerate i suoi più grandi successi, contengono l'emozionante invettiva rivolta contro il suo rivale, Marco Antonio, che alla fine portò alla morte di Cicerone.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC), Roman orator and statesman, was born at Arpinum to a wealthy local family. He was taken to Rome for his education with the idea of a public career and, by the year 70, he had established himself as the leading barrister in Rome. In the meantime, his political career was well under way and he was elected praetor in 66. In addition to his speeches, Cicero produced a large number of works on the theory and practice of rhetoric, on religion, and on moral and political philosophy. He was put to death in 43 BC. Siobhan McElduff is Assistant Professor of Latin Language and Literature at the University of British Columbia.
