Cicero by Plutarch is a biographical work that delves into the life of the renowned Roman statesman, lawyer, and orator, Marcus Tullius Cicero. Plutarch, a Greek historian and biographer, wrote this book in the 1st century AD, almost a century after Cicero's death. The book covers Cicero's life from his birth in 106 BC to his assassination in 43 BC. Plutarch provides a detailed account of Cicero's early life, education, and rise to prominence in the Roman Republic. He also explores Cicero's political career, including his consulship in 63 BC and his opposition to Julius Caesar's dictatorship. The book also delves into Cicero's personal life, including his relationships with his family, friends, and colleagues. Plutarch describes Cicero's marriage to Terentia and his affair with a woman named Clodia. He also discusses Cicero's literary works, including his speeches, letters, and philosophical treatises. Throughout the book, Plutarch offers insights into Cicero's character, highlighting his strengths and weaknesses. He portrays Cicero as a brilliant orator and a skilled politician, but also as a man who struggled with personal insecurities and a fear of failure. Overall, Cicero by Plutarch is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in Roman history, politics, or literature. Plutarch's vivid storytelling and insightful commentary make this biography a timeless classic.THIS 50 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Plutarch's Lives: V12 Harvard Classics, by Plutarch .
