Pro Marco Caelio is perhaps Cicero's best-loved speech and has long
been regarded as one of the best surviving examples of Roman
oratory. Speaking in defence of the young aristocrat Marcus Caelius
Rufus on charges of political violence, Cicero scores his points
with wit but also with searing invective directed at a supporter of
the prosecution, Clodia Metelli, whom he represents as seeking
vengeance as a lover spurned by his client. This new edition and
detailed commentary offers advanced undergraduates and graduate
students, as well as scholars, a detailed analysis of Cicero's
rhetorical strategies and stylistic refinements and presents a
systematic account of the background and significance of the
speech, including in-depth explanations of Roman court proceedings.
