About This Quote
Cicero, Orator, 46 BC was an ancient Roman politician and philosopher. Cicero was born in 106 (or 106 BC) BC in Arpinum (now Arpino), a small town near Pompeii. After the Social War, Cicero returned to Rome under Julius Caesar, became an expert oratory, and became prominent as a lawyer. He was elected quaestor in 58 BC, and served in the Roman Senate until his death. The last ten years of his life were marked by political conflicts with Mark Antony and later Octavian.
