This volume contains a new translation of, and commentary on,
Cicero's defense of Publius Sestius against a charge of public
violence. Pro Sestio is arguably the most important of Cicero's
political speeches that survive from the nearly two decades
separating the Speeches against Catiline and
the Second Philippic. Its account of recent history provides any
student of Rome with a fascinating way into the period; its
depiction of public meetings, demonstrations, and violence are
highly pertinent to the current debate on the place of "the crowd
in Rome in the late Republic"; the speech is
also among the best introductions we have to traditional Republican
values and ethics in action.
