Discursos, 3

In the third volume of Cicero's speeches you can see the evolution of his oratorical skills over time. Some of the most notable speeches of his early days are included, focusing on private civil law cases, as well as later ones of deep political significance, delivered when his author was already a celebrity in Rome. In all of them, Cicero deploys his rhetorical resources until he becomes a central figure in the process, whatever its purpose, but he also offers a unique opportunity to know first-hand some mechanisms of Roman law and politics.
