Rate 0.0 /5

Cicero's courtroom speeches are the most significant examples we have of the art of the ancient Roman advocate. This book takes the speeches seriously as examples of advocacy designed to secure a verdict, aiming to set them in context of the Roman legal system, and to compare their methods with those of modern advocates.
