Cicero: Rome's Greatest Talker, Killed for Talking

"How long, Catiline, will you abuse our patience?" With one speech, the consul Cicero left a would-be arsonist sitting alone in the Senate. Twenty years later, the same voice got him killed. This animated history tells the life and works of Marcus Tullius Cicero: the new man from Arpinum whose name meant chickpea, the murder trial nobody would touch, the Greek teacher who pitied Greece, the trip home that nobody noticed, the governor called the Boar, the consulship he never stopped talking about, Catiline's conspiracy and the executions without trial, Clodius and exile, the panthers of Cilicia, the civil war, the grief that turned into a whole library of philosophy, the Ides of March, the Philippics against Mark Antony, the joke Octavian never forgot, his last journey to the sea, and how his words ended up on unfinished websites as lorem ipsum. Where a story is legend rather than record, the video says so.
