Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cicero's Essays on Old Age and Friendship, Also His Paradoxes
Cicero's first public oration was The Defence of Roscius, in which he achieved a brilliant success, and secured his client's acquittal of the charge of having murdered his father, in spite of the fact that the trial took place before a partisan judge, and in the face of the opposition of Sulla, who was then dictator.
