Speeches Against Catilina

Speeches Against Catilina

by Marcus Tullius Cicero

This book contains the four speeches delivered by Marcus Tullius Cicero, the Roman statesman and orator, against the conspiracy led by Lucius Sergius Catilina in 63 BC. Cicero, serving as consul at the time, skillfully exposed Catiline's plot to overthrow the Roman Republic and establish himself as dictator. The speeches, known for their powerful rhetoric and sharp political acumen, provide a vivid glimpse into the turbulent political landscape of ancient Rome and the dangers faced by the state. Readers gain insights into the social, political, and moral issues of the era, as Cicero passionately defends the existing order and condemns the conspirators for their ambition and treachery.
