Description:

Cicero's courtroom speeches are the most significant examples we have of the art of the ancient Roman advocate. This collection of essays aims to set them in the context of the Roman legal system and of ancient techniques of persuasion, and to compare their methods with those available to modern advocates.

Synopsis:

A collection of contributions by prominent Ciceronian scholars on Cicero's forensic speeches as examples of advocacy designed to secure a verdict, setting the speeches in the context of the Roman court system and of ancient rhetoric, discussing the nature of advocacy ancient and modern, analysing Cicero's various techniques of persuasion, and examining a number of speeches in detail as case studies.
