Description
In Defence of the Republic is a collection of speeches by Marcus Tullius Cicero, one of the most brilliant orators in Classical history. This selection showcases his fierce loyalty to the Roman Republic, from early victories in the law courts to his later years in the Senate.
Cicero's speeches demonstrate his ability to sway the opinions of both the mob and the powerful men of Rome, as he advocates for Pompey the Great and against the conspirator Catiline. The Philippics, considered some of Cicero's finest achievements, contain a thrilling invective delivered against his rival, Mark Antony.
Published by Penguin Classics, this edition features authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. With over 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
