Murder Trials

by Cicero

Amazon
3.8(25)

This Cicero volume gathers speeches from Roman murder cases, where advocacy, evidence, reputation and political danger intersect. The cases show how courtroom argument in the late Republic could expose family conflict, violence, patronage and the instability left by civil war and dictatorship.
