Rome, 63 BCE. Cicero has reached the consulship, but the office places him at the centre of a republic divided by debt, ambition and the threat of violence. Catiline’s conspiracy forces him to choose between constitutional restraint and emergency action while Caesar, Crassus, Pompey and their rivals compete to shape the crisis.
Tiro records both the triumph and the cost of Cicero’s decision to execute the conspirators without trial. The act secures his authority in the moment but gives his enemies the weapon they need to drive him towards isolation and exile.
