Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero was Rome's greatest orator and a prolific writer on philosophy, rhetoric, and politics who played a central role in the turbulent final decades of the Roman Republic. He exposed the Catilinarian conspiracy in 63 BC and later opposed Mark Antony in his Philippic speeches, which led to his proscription and assassination. His philosophical works introduced Greek ideas to Roman audiences and profoundly influenced Renaissance humanism and modern political thought.
