Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book comprises some of the finest orations from one of the most influential orators and politicians of the Roman Republic, Marcus Tullius Cicero. The orations deal with civil and criminal cases and were delivered in court. The book is divided into nine parts and explores a range of themes, including extortion, political corruption, murder, and tyranny. Ciceroâs orations sought to influence the outcome of cases by entertaining the jury and shaping their feelings towards witnesses and defendants. Through his speeches, he discusses his thoughts on morality, social responsibility, and justice, which are still highly relevant today. One of the key themes that emerges is the importance of the rule of law and the need to protect citizens from injustice. This volume offers insights into the Roman legal system and the challenges faced by a society grappling with issues that continue to resonate today, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in law, history, or rhetoric.
