Omschrijving

In 'For Aulus Caecina,' Cicero masterfully navigates the complexities of Roman legal proceedings, employing a sophisticated rhetoric that intertwines personal appeal with legal argumentation. This oration, delivered in 69 BC, emerges within the broader context of Roman legal struggles and the political machinations of the late Republic. Cicero's eloquent prose not only serves his client, Aulus Caecina, but also reflects the intricacies of Roman society, morality, and the art of persuasion. His style is characterized by a careful balance of pathos and logos, skillfully engaging the audience's emotions while providing substantive legal reasoning. Marcus Tullius Cicero, a statesman, philosopher, and orator, dedicated much of his life to understanding and preserving the principles of justice in a tumultuous Republic. His extensive experience in the political arena, including his renowned consulship and his role as a legal advocate, profoundly influenced his perspectives on law and morality. Cicero's writings capture his passionate defense of the Roman Republic's ideals and his belief in the Senate's role in governance, all of which culminate in the pressing need to advocate for justice as demonstrated in this oration. For any reader interested in the foundations of Western rhetoric, law, and political philosophy, 'For Aulus Caecina' is an indispensable text. Cicero's argumentation not only provides insight into the specifics of Roman law but also resonates with contemporary themes of justice and civic duty. This work is a testament to the enduring power of eloquence in the pursuit of justice, making it essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone enthralled by the art of persuasion.
