Read Latin prose in the hands of its master! Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.E.) was arguably the greatest Roman author of all. Our text will be Cicero's speech in 56 B.C. in defense of his protégé, M. Caelius Rufus,who was charged with attempting to poison his former mistress, Clodia. Clodia is a fascinating figure from the Roman aristocracy: Cattulus' famous mistress Lesbia (perhaps) and the sister of Cicero' s most bitter enemy, P. Clodius, a patrician nobilis who had become a populist agitator. Through the "Pro Caelio", you will study the social and political world of Republican Rome headed to its demise. We will also study some of the outstanding features of Roman oratory. Prerequisites: At least three semesters of college Latin or equivalent.
