Marcus Tullius Cicero 106-43 BC

 

Marcus Tullius Cicero 106-43 BC

 


 

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

Cicero and George Washington had something in common and that was their nickname, both were called "father of his country." There were even more people in history who won that sobriquet, but back to Cicero.

 

Cicero was elected Consul in 63 BC. Later that year, Cicero delivered four speeches against Lucius Sergius Catilina, aka Catiline, the leader of a massive conspiracy.

Here are the dates of the Catiline Orations:

November 8, 63 BC - The first speech against Catiline. Cicero addresses the Senate in the Temple of Jupiter Stator. This is the Latin version of the speech.

November 9, 63 BC - The second speech against Catiline. Cicero addresses the public from the rostra, which is the speakers' platform at the Forum.

December 3, 63 BC - The third speech against Catiline. Again, Cicero addresses the public from the rostra.

December 5, 63 BC - The fourth speech against Catiline. Cicero delivers his speech in the Temple of Concord.

 

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.

 

On December 7, 43 BC, Cicero was assassinated.



 

Read Cicero's treatise On Old Age.
