In the tumultuous aftermath of Caesar's death, Cicero and Mark Antony found themselves on opposing sides of an increasingly bitter and dangerous battle for control. \u003cem\u003ePhilippic \u003c\/em\u003e2 was a weapon in that war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConceived as Cicero's response to a verbal attack from Antony in the Senate, \u003cem\u003ePhilippic \u003c\/em\u003e2 is a rhetorical firework that ranges from abusive references to Antony's supposedly sordid sex life to a sustained critique of what Cicero saw as Antony's tyrannical ambitions. Vituperatively brilliant and politically committed, it is both a carefully crafted literary artefact and an explosive example of crisis rhetoric. It ultimately led to Cicero's own gruesome death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, vocabulary aids, study questions, and an extensive commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard's volume will be of particular interest to students of Latin studying for A-Level or on undergraduate courses. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Cicero, his oratory, the politics of late-republican Rome, and the transhistorical import of Cicero's politics of verbal (and physical) violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12078502\"\u003eIngo Gildenhard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.99d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783745890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783745894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT004190\"\u003eAncient and Classical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT025030\"\u003eSubjects \u0026amp; Themes | Politics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Book Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44527176712429,"sku":"9781783745890","price":45.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_63544a7b-4c92-4d13-887d-d949af0adb33.jpg?v=1701371821","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/cicero-philippic-2-44-50-78-92-100-119-latin-text-study-aids-with-vocabulary-and-commentary-9781783745890","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
