{"product_id":"political-speeches-9780199540136","title":"Political Speeches","description":"Cicero (106-43 BC) was the greatest orator of the ancient world and a leading politician of the closing era of the Roman republic. This book presents with nine of his speeches that reflect the development, variety, and drama of his political career. Among them are two speeches from his\u003cbr\u003eprosecution of Verres, a corrupt and cruel governor of Sicily; four speeches against the conspirator Catiline; and the \u003cem\u003eSecond Philippic\u003c\/em\u003e, the famous denunciation of Mark Antony, which cost Cicero his life. Also included are \u003cem\u003eOn the Command of Gnaeus Pompeius\u003c\/em\u003e, in which he praises the military successes\u003cbr\u003eof Pompey, and \u003cem\u003eFor Marcellus\u003c\/em\u003e, a panegyric in praise of the dictator Julius Caesar. \u003cbr\u003e These new translations preserve Cicero's oratorical brilliance and achieve new standards of accuracy. A general introduction outlines Cicero's public career, and separate introductions explain the political significance of each of the speeches. This edition also provides an up-to-date scholarly\u003cbr\u003ebibliography, glossary and two maps. Together with the companion volume of \u003cem\u003eDefense Speeches\u003c\/em\u003e, this edition provides an unparalleled sampling of Cicero's achievements. \u003cp\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-7049254\"\u003eCicero\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.73h x 5.09w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199540136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199540136\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-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS002020\"\u003eAncient | Rome\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL010000\"\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Theory | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO003000\"\u003eAncient, Classical \u0026amp; Medieval\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42675866403053,"sku":"9780199540136","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_a30ddbcb-8275-4f73-a85a-faa4ac74bfa3.jpg?v=1649610556","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/political-speeches-9780199540136","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
