Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Cicero's early legal career. Specifically, it presents his first successful prosecution of a powerful and ruthless man. The defendant was Sextus Naevius, who cheated his deceased business partner's family out of their inheritance. Cicero's victory was a remarkable achievement, given Naevius's connections to powerful politicians and Cicero's relative inexperience at the time. The case is examined against the backdrop of the late Roman Republic, a time of great social and political upheaval. The author explores the legal and social context of the case, providing insights into how justice was administered in ancient Rome. The complex relationship between law and politics is a major theme of the book. Cicero's willingness to challenge powerful interests foreshadowed his later career as a defender of the Republic against tyranny. This book will appeal to anyone interested in Roman history, law, or politics. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of one of the greatest orators and statesmen of all time.
