Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from M. Tulli Ciceronis Pro T. Annio Milone Ad Ivdices Oratio
I. The trial to which this speech refers took place in April of the year 52 b.c.1 The case was an outcome of the civil dis order which never ceased to af?ict the burgesses of Rome from the era of the Gracchi until Augustus seated himself firmly on the imperial throne. During this century of strife the streets of the capital were frequently deluged with blood. It has-been said, with exaggeration, but not without a tinge of truth, that if the city had possessed an efficient police, the fall of the Republic might have been considerably delayed.
