Specificatii
"All ages of the world have not produced a greater statesman and
philosopher combined."--John Adams He squared off against Caesar
and was friends with young Brutus. He advised the legendary Pompey
on his somewhat botched transition from military hero to
politician. He lambasted Mark Antony and was master of the smear
campaign, as feared for his wit as he was for exposing his

civil war that followed and Caesar's dictatorship and
assassination. Cicero was a legendary defender of freedom and a
model, later, to French and American revolutionaries who saw
themselves as following in his footsteps in their resistance to
tyranny. Anthony Everitt's biography paints a caustic picture of
Roman politics--where Senators were endlessly filibustering
