We tend to see the statuary, but rarely the person behind it. When you read this outstanding title, you see that Marcus Tullius Cicero has a human face -- and it shows in his work. The Roman Republic that Cicero loved was falling apart. Marius and Sulla, the Gracchi, the conflicts over the powers of the tribunes had dealt a severe blow to a form of government that had proved itself adequate for governing a city-state, but less so for managing a multi-cultural empire. Cicero fought valiantly against corrupt governors like Verres (\"Against Verres\") and would-be dictators like Marc Antony (\"2nd Phillipic Against Antony\"). When he finally threw in his lot with Pompey, he picked the wrong horse and put himself in harm's way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 24, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47271223591161,"sku":"9781721770304","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/JJM2Uf1SZc9781721770304.webp?v=1768924793","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/ciceros-tusculan-disputations-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
