Synopsis

Cicero applies characterization and dramatic patterns borrowed from comedy in his defense of M. Caelius Rufus. He successfully shifts the attention from his client's possible guilt to persons linked with the prosecution, in the process entertaining the court and audience with witty, brilliant caricaturs.
