Latin Oratory: Cicero, Invective, & the End of the Roman Republic
Marcus Tullius Cicero (107-44BCE) was the greatest Latin orator of Ancient Rome. For over two thousand years, his orations have been admired, studied, and imitated as superb examples of Latin prose style and eloquent expression. Rhetoric was the most important tool in the crisis-filled political culture of late Republican Rome. Cicero was the master at manipulating juries and transforming public opinion.
