In 56 B.C., M. Caelius Rufus was prosecuted for vis by L. Sempronius Atratinus in a trial with important social and political implications. This third edition of Cicero's speech in defense of Caelius reproduces A.C.

About the Author:
"This is a truly outstanding edition and commentary."--A.D. Macro, Trinity College
"This edition is ideal for use in an advanced or intermediate course in Cicero. Today's students tend to lack the context necessary to understand Cicero's speeches, and this is richly supplied by Austin's introduction, commentary, and appendices."--Robert J. Edgeworth, Louisiana State University
Praise for the first edition: "An English edition of the Pro Caelio was much needed; and here it is, well and thoroughly done."--Classical Review
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 B.C.-43 B.C.) was an orator, statesman, political theorist, and philosopher of Ancient Rome. He is generally considered the greatest Latin orator and prose stylist. R. G. Austin is at University of Liverpool.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In April 56 BC, M. Caelius Rufus was prosecuted for vis by L. Sempronius Atratinus; Cicero successfully defended him, making this speech at his trial. Shortly before, Caelius, a prominent figure in public life at Rome, had ended a two year affair with Clodia (probably to be identified with the 'Lesbia' of Catullus' poetry), much against her will. Although his opponents took the opportunity of the trial to attack him on political grounds, the actual indictmentagainst Caelius was prompted by social reasons. Clodia herself, fiercely resentful of her rejection, was closely involved with the case, and is mentioned frequently in the Pro Caelio. Cicero's speechgives an insight into the political events of the period; it also helps us reconstruct the 'social background' of Catullus, and is of special interest to the literary historian.This third edition reproduces A. C. Clark's text, with the significant addition of a seventeenth-century conjecture which has been thought to identify Caelius' birthplace. The notes and appendices have been updated in several respects; appendices II and III, discussing the place of Caelius' birthand the connection between Caelius and Caullus, have been rewritten and new notes have been integrated into the commentary.This paperback reprint replaces the hardback editionfirst published in 1960. This is the third edition, with updated notes and appendices, of Cicero's speech defending Caelius Rufus. It gives an insight into the political events of the period, and also helps to reconstruct the 'social background' of Catullus.
