Cicero's Brutus or History of Famous Orators; also His Orator, or Accomplished…
"Cicero's Brutus or History of Famous Orators; also His Orator, or Accomplished…" by Cicero is a dialogue written in 46 BC. Cast as a conversation between Cicero, Marcus Junius Brutus, and Titus Pomponius Atticus, this work surveys the great Roman orators throughout history. Written during Rome's tumultuous civil war period, Cicero traces eloquence from its Greek origins through generations of Roman speakers, defending his own oratorical style while lamenting the decline of
public speaking in an age when great orators have fled or fallen silent. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
