Collins follows Cicero’s education, the impeachment of Verres that made his name, his consulship and the conspiracy of Catiline, exile and return, his uneasy dealings with Caesar and his final attacks on Antony. Along the way he quotes and paraphrases the speeches, letters and philosophical works, then weighs Cicero as politician and orator.
