The volume brings together four classic works of Roman thought and oratory: the speeches against Catiline, the speeches against Mark Antony, the essay on old age and the dialogue on friendship. Through these texts, Cicero addresses politics, morality and human relations in first-century BC Rome, offering a representative sample of his rhetorical style and practical philosophy.

Designed as an introduction to classical literature, it is especially useful for students of history, philosophy and rhetoric, as well as for readers interested in the authors of ancient Rome.
Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, philosopher, orator, and writer who tried to uphold optimate principles during the political crises of the Roman Republic that led to the establishment of the Roman Empire. The extensive writings of Cicero include treatises on rhetoric, philosophy, and politics. He is considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists and the innovator of what became known as "Ciceronian rhetoric". Cicero was educated in Rome and in Greece. He came from a wealthy municipal family of the Roman equestrian order, and served as consul in 63 BC.
