Following Caesar  's assassination, his supporters are looking for a new leader. Caesar  's deputy, Antony, and the 18-year-old Octavian, the future Augustus, are vying with each other to fill the role; each seems more concerned with personal power than the good of Rome. Cicero returns to the city to try to save it with the one weapon at his disposal- his oratory.\u003cbr\u003eIn this speech, the longest of the Philippics (so-called after a series of speeches made against Philip of Macedon), Cicero starts by defending his own career and then     the part we read - demolishes Antony  's. A masterpiece of invective, it ensures Antony  's bitter hostility and Cicero  's eventual elimination.\u003cbr\u003eResources are available on the Companion Website \u003cb\u003ewww.bloomsbury.com\/ocr-editions-2019-2021\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509023817886,"sku":"UBD-9781350010239","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350010239.jpg?v=1780639779","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350010239","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
