Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the first four orations given by Cicero against Catiline, a Roman politician who plotted to overthrow the Roman government. The orations provide a detailed account of the conspiracy, Cicero's investigation, and his efforts to bring Catiline and his followers to justice. The orations are not only a valuable historical source but also a testament to Cicero's oratorical skills, which helped save Rome from a great peril. The orations are set in the context of the late Roman Republic, a time of great political and social unrest. Julius Caesar and Pompey were rising to power, setting the stage for the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire. Catiline was a member of the Roman aristocracy who had fallen into debt and disgrace and sought to improve his fortunes by seizing power. Seeking to exploit the unrest, he gathered a group of followers, many of whom were also in debt or otherwise desperate, and planned to murder the consuls and seize control of the government. Cicero, then serving as consul, learned of the plot and took swift action. He had Catiline's closest associate arrested and interrogated, then delivered a series of speeches before the Roman Senate, denouncing Catiline and his plans. Cicero's oratory, combined with his political maneuvering, forced Catiline to flee Rome and eventually led to the defeat of his conspiracy. The orations against Catiline are a fascinating and invaluable source for understanding both the late Roman Republic and Cicero's role in shaping Roman history. They are essential reading for anyone interested in Roman history, oratory, or the role of rhetoric in politics.
