(H/B) CICERO (VOLUME VI)

Παρουσίαση

The Orations translated in this volume are of varied nature and interest (private, criminal, political). Pro Quinctio and Pro Quinto Roscio Comoedo deal with private suits connected with a partnership dispute, the first turning upon the execution of a praetor's order; Pro Sexto Roscio Amerino is a public or criminal case, in which a son is accused of having murdered his father; and the three speeches (a fourth is lost) against Publius Servilius Rullus (generally called De Lege Agraria) are political and economical, being an attack upon an agrarian law proposed by the tribune Rullus. All are more or less incomplete, especially Pro Roscio Comoedo, and the text of the end of the second speech against Rullus is very corrupt. (...) (from the publisher)
