This is the endorsed publication from OCR and Bloomsbury for the
Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Cicero's Philippic
II sections 44-50 (... viri tui similis esses) and 78 (C. Caesari
ex Hispania redeunti...)-92, and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription
of sections 100-119, giving full Latin text, commentary and
vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the
prescribed text to be read in English for A Level. It is 44 BC.
Following Caesar's assassination, his supporters are looking for a
new leader. Caesar's deputy, Antony, and the 18-year-old Octavian,
the future Augustus, are vying with each other to fill the role;
each seems more concerned with personal power than the good of
Rome. Cicero returns to the city to try to save it with the one
weapon at his disposal: his oratory. In this speech, the longest of
the Philippics (so-called after a series of speeches made against
Philip of Macedon), Cicero starts by defending his own career and
then - the part we read - demolishes Antony's. A masterpiece of
invective, it ensures Antony's bitter hostility and Cicero's
eventual elimination. Resources are available on the Companion
