In 63 b.c., Lucius Sergius Catilina, a Roman aristocrat, formed a
conspiracy to overthrow the Roman Republic. Cicero, who was consul
that year, exposed the plot and documented his defeat of the
conspiracy in his Orations against Catiline. The First Catilinarian
Oration is well known and deservedly famous. Scholars are familiar
with the other three speeches, but few students know them. This
lapse is regrettable. The Third Oration is a fast-paced courtroom
drama, and the Second and Fourth Orations provide critical
information about this key event in Roman history. Susan O. Shapiro
here makes all Cicero's Catilinarian Orations accessible to the
intermediate Latin student.O Tempora! O Mores! is designed to fit a
variety of pedagogical approaches. Professors can assign any of the
Catilinarian Orations independently or assign excerpts from several
of the speeches. Shapiro's historical essays bring a new dimension
to Latin study, explaining the history and politics behind the
texts. The essays are divided into short sections that can be
assigned individually for class discussion. The volume is further
amplified by a vocabulary, maps, a bibliography, and appendices.
