Speeches against Catilina by Marcus Tullius Cicero
"Speeches against Catilina" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is a collection of four speeches delivered in 63 BC. These orations expose and combat a conspiracy to overthrow the Roman Republic led by Senator Catiline. Speaking before the Senate and the people, Cicero denounces the conspirators, justifies their arrests, and argues for their execution without trial. Published around 60 BC, these speeches represent Cicero's attempt to defend his controversial actions and cement his reputation
as defender of Rome. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
