Autoren-Porträt von Marcus Tullius Cicero
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE) was a Roman statesman, orator, and writer who became one of the most illustrious figures in Roman history. Born into a wealthy municipal family of the Roman equestrian order, Cicero was a towering figure in the final years of the Roman Republic. His literary contributions encompass philosophy, rhetoric, politics, and letters, greatly influencing the Latin language and Western thought. Cicero's rhetorical prowess was evident in his speeches, among which 'Against Verres' stands out. In this series of speeches, Cicero prosecutes Gaius Verres, a former Roman magistrate, delineating a vivid portrayal of corruption and abuse of power. The work not only exemplifies Cicero's mastery over language but also reflects his ethical stance and commitment to justice. His prose style is characterized by elegance, clarity, and a powerful use of rhetorical devices, aiming to persuade his audience through reason and emotional appeal. Cicero's writings have lived through centuries, providing an invaluable glimpse into the political and cultural life of late Republican Rome. His ideas on law, citizenship, and the nature of government had profound impacts on Enlightenment thinkers and thus on the frameworks of modern political systems.
