This volume presents ten of Cicero's most significant orations, accompanied by selections from his extensive correspondence. Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) was a Roman statesman, lawyer, political theorist, and philosopher who is widely considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists. His speeches offer invaluable insights into the political and social dynamics of the late Roman Republic.
Included are such famous speeches as "In Catilinam I-IV", denouncing the conspiracy of Catiline, as well as "Pro Archia Poeta", a defense of the poet Archias' Roman citizenship. These works showcase Cicero's mastery of rhetoric, his profound understanding of Roman law and politics, and his unwavering commitment to the Republic. The selection of letters provides a more intimate glimpse into Cicero's personal life and thoughts. "Ten Orations of Cicero" remains essential reading for students of classical literature, Roman history, and political thought, providing a window into a pivotal era of Western civilization.
