Marcus Tullius Cicero
M. Tullii Ciceronis Pro Sexto Roscio Amerino, Oratio Ad Iudices (1879) is a book written by the famous Roman philosopher and politician, Marcus Tullius Cicero. The book contains Cicero’s speech in defense of Sextus Roscius Amerinus, who was accused of patricide, or the killing of his father. The speech was delivered in 80 BC in front of the Roman courts, and it is considered one of Cicero’s most powerful speeches.In the book, Cicero argues that Roscius Amerinus is innocent of the crime he is accused of, and that he is being framed by powerful individuals who have a vested interest in his conviction. Cicero uses his rhetorical skills to appeal to the judges’ sense of justice and fairness, and to expose the corruption and injustice of the Roman legal system.The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Roman history and law, as it provides insight into the workings of the Roman courts and the political and social climate of the time. It is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in the art of persuasion and the power of language.With An Introduction And Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
