Sextus Roscius the Elder is brutally murdered on the streets of the great city and his son is then accused of the crime, the serious offence of Parricide in Roman Law. If convicted, he faces a horrible, and terrifying punishment. The Roman Orator, Cicero is asked to defend Sextus at his forthcoming trial and he embarks on a journey through Rome and Italy trying to discover the complicated truth behind the murder. He soon finds that the trial has an important political dimension, involving a favourite of the Roman Dictator Sulla. The reader is taken through the whole trial, from the opening speeches of the lawyers, the dramatic cross-examination of the witnesses, through to the verdicts and the surprising aftermath. The novel is based on the published speech of the famous orator and lawyer, Marcus Tullius Cicero which he made over two thousand years ago, in his first ever murder trial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Malcolm Burton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1490572090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781490572093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"John Malcolm Burton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44311323115775,"sku":"9781490572093","price":13.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58f1c0df-558a-484c-9b74-a2137d3300bd.jpg?v=1695722220","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parricide-john-malcolm-burton-9781490572093","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
