In 56 BC, he defended Marcus Caelius Rufus who was being prosecuted on charges of violence, including the attempted poisoning of Roman noblewoman Clodia with whom Caelius previously had an affair. Cicero's primary tactic was to blacken the character and reliability of Clodia, whom he depicts as the woman scorned, prosecuting Caelius out of revenge. Drawing on characters well known from Roman comedy, Cicero casts Caelius as the decent young man victimized by the aggressive courtesan, thereby shaming Clodia and glossing over the more awkward charges levelled at his client. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSupporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https: \/\/www.bloomsbury.pub\/OCR-editions-2024-2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgina Longley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350156434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350156432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.43w x 1.00d","brand":"Georgina Longley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077679214847,"sku":"9781350156432","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8baf0594-a429-493f-9360-f874ab4032d1.jpg?v=1685471239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cicero-pro-caelio-georgina-longley-9781350156432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
