O Mores!: Cicero's Catilinarian Orations A Student Edition with Historical Essays","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 63 b.c., Lucius Sergius Catilina, a Roman aristocrat, formed a conspiracy to overthrow the Roman Republic. Cicero, who was consul that year, exposed the plot and documented his defeat of the conspiracy in his \u003cem\u003eOrations against Catiline\u003c\/em\u003e. The \u003cem\u003eFirst Catilinarian Oration\u003c\/em\u003e is well known and deservedly famous. Scholars are familiar with the other three speeches, but few students know them. This lapse is regrettable. The \u003cem\u003eThird Oration\u003c\/em\u003e is a fast-paced courtroom drama, and the \u003cem\u003eSecond\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFourth Orations\u003c\/em\u003e provide critical information about this key event in Roman history. Susan O. Shapiro here makes all Cicero's \u003cem\u003eCatilinarian Orations\u003c\/em\u003e accessible to the intermediate Latin student.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eO Tempora! O Mores!\u003c\/em\u003e is designed to fit a variety of pedagogical approaches. Professors can assign any of the \u003cem\u003eCatilinarian Orations\u003c\/em\u003e independently or assign excerpts from several of the speeches. Shapiro's historical essays bring a new dimension to Latin study, explaining the history and politics behind the texts. The essays are divided into short sections that can be assigned individually for class discussion. The volume is further amplified by a vocabulary, maps, a bibliography, and appendices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\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-10430463\"\u003eSusan O.
