Cicero's Essays on Old Age and Friendship, Also His Paradoxes

by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Excerpt from Cicero's Essays on Old Age and Friendship, Also His Paradoxes

Cicero's first public oration was The Defence of Roscius, in which he achieved a brilliant success, and secured his client's acquittal of the charge of having murdered his father, in spite of the fact that the trial took place before a partisan judge, and in the face of the opposition of Sulla, who was then dictator.
