Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book comprises speeches delivered by Cicero in the trial of Gaius Verres, an infamous Roman governor of Sicily, charged with extortion and other forms of corruption during his rule. The speeches reveal Cicero's brilliant use of rhetoric and his determination to hold those in power accountable for their actions. The larger context of this trial is the rampant corruption and abuse of power that plagued the Roman provinces, highlighting the challenges faced by the growing empire and the need for stringent measures to address the unchecked authority of individuals sent to govern its far-flung corners. Cicero's words not only provide a detailed historical account of the charges against Verres and the tactics employed by the prosecution and defense, but also contribute to the broader understanding of the political and legal practices in the late Roman Republic. They reveal the difficulties of bringing powerful individuals to justice while also shedding light on the impact of corruption on the governed, as seen in the plight of the Sicilian people. The speeches are not just dry historical documents but captivating and compelling narratives that speak to issues of justice, power, and corruption, making them valuable for students of law and history, or anyone interested in the complexities of human behavior in a society grappling with the challenges of growth and expansion.
