Author

Cicero

-106–-43

Cicero was a Roman statesman, orator and philosopher whose writings are central to the final century of the Republic.

Marcus Tullius Cicero rose as a novus homo to become consul in 63 BCE. His surviving speeches, letters, philosophical works and rhetorical treatises are among the richest sources for Roman politics, law, friendship and elite anxiety in the late Republic.

For the site, Cicero belongs in Classical as both an author and a historical figure. He supports pages on the Catilinarian Conspiracy, Caesar’s Civil War, Roman courts, republican ideology and the political culture used by many Roman historical novelists.
