Cicero: Pro Plancio (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781171667575)

Pro Plancio is a speech delivered by Marcus Tullius Cicero in defense of Gnaeus Plancius. This work provides valuable insights into Roman law, politics, and society during Cicero's time. As one of Cicero's most celebrated orations, it showcases his masterful use of rhetoric and persuasive argumentation.

This edition, prepared by A. H. Allcroft and R. C. B. Kerin, offers students and scholars an accessible entry point to understanding Cicero's techniques and the historical context surrounding the trial of Plancius. The speech not only defends Plancius against accusations of electoral malpractice but also reveals the complexities of Roman political life and the challenges faced by individuals navigating its treacherous landscape. Cicero's defense is a testament to his skill as an orator and his deep understanding of Roman law and custom.
