This classical rhetoric collection, presented with insightful English notes by John Richard King, offers readers a vivid journey into the heart of ancient Roman speeches and the art of political persuasion.Cicero’s orations, delivered at a turning point in Roman republic politics, stand as masterpieces of latin oratory analysis and historical speech critique.
