Empires. Lyustrum. Dictator. Harris R.

In the history of Ancient Rome, the figure of Mark Tullia Ciceron is one of the most significant and possibly the most tragic. A scientist, politician, a brilliant speaker, by the art of the word to rise to the heights of power... It would seem that the gods themselves patronize their favorite, strewn his path with flowers. But the gods are changeable creatures, a man in their hands is a toy. And Rome is not a blessed island, Rome is a large arena where if you do not win, then the rivals will plunge you, and often with a fatal outcome.

Catilin’s conspiracy, the unsuccessful opponent of Cicero in the consular elections, and an attempt by the coup d'etat... Crosses of influential enemies led by the Poluban Claudius, an unfair accusation and a year and a half of expulsion... Return to Rome, a civil war between Pompey and Caesar, The death of Caesar, a new rise and followed by a fall, is already final...

Cicero's difficult path is shown through the eyes of Tiron, the slave and secretary of Cicero, his faithful and permanent satellite, who accompanied his master in moments of glory, periods of tests, heart Troubles and everyday adversity.
