The Fourteen Philippic Orations Of Marcus Tullius Cicero (1878) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104492038)

The Fourteen Philippic Orations Of Marcus Tullius Cicero is a collection of speeches given by the famous Roman statesman and orator, Cicero, against the political rival, Mark Antony. The speeches were delivered between 44 and 43 BCE, and were aimed at exposing Antony's corruption and ambition, as well as rallying support for the Roman Republic. The orations are considered some of Cicero's most powerful and influential works, and are an important historical record of the tumultuous period following the assassination of Julius Caesar. This edition, published in 1878, includes both the original Latin text and an English translation, as well as extensive notes and commentary. It is a valuable resource for scholars of ancient history and political rhetoric, as well as anyone interested in the politics and culture of ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
