MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO
106 BC - 43 BC

Marcus Tullius (called Tully in British pubs) was a Roman lawyer and academic. He was most famous for his writings and his outstanding public speeches.

Cicero was elected Consul in 63 BC.

When Caesar invited Cicero to join the political alliance between himself, Crassus, and Pompey, Cicero declined as he thought this coalition unconstitutional. See more under First Triumvirate.

Cicero was not very fond of Marcus Licinius Crassus.
