Birthplace: Arpinum Died: 7 December 43 B.C. (assassination) Best Known As: Roman statesman who stood up to Marc Antony Name at birth: Marcus Tullius Cicero Cicero was the greatest speaker among the many famous statesmen of ancient Rome. He practiced law and studied philosophy in Greece before holding a rising sequence of important jobs in the Roman Empire. In 64 BCE he became Consul, the highest office in Rome. As Consul he won fame for his orations against Cataline, the head of a secret conspiracy to seize the government. Always a staunch supporter of the Republic, Cicero was eventually forced from office by his enemies, and when Julius Caesar consolidated his power in 48 BC, Cicero went into political retirement. During this time he wrote his famous essays on happiness, on old age, and on friendship. Upon Caesar's assassination in 44 BCE, Cicero returned to public life and delivered a series of scathing speeches (the "Phillipics") against Marc Antony . This proved to be Cicero's undoing: when Antony took power in a triumvirate with Octavian and Marcus Lepidus, Cicero was declared an outlaw and killed by Antony's men in 43 BCE.

He entered the Senate in 74 B.C. and became consul in 64, beating an aristocrat, Lucius Sergius Catilina. This same Catilina was later implicated in a plot to overthrow the government, which is known as the conspiracy of Catiline or the Catilinian Cnspiracy. Cicero suppressed it and had members of it executed. In the tumult over this extra-legal move, Cicero was forced into exile. In 50 B.C. he returned to Rome and joined Caesar's rival, Pompey. When Caesar defeated Pompey in 48, Cicero accepted Caesar's friendship. After Caesar died, Cicero supported his successor Octavian (Augustus), but was still proscribed and murdered on December 7, 43 B.C.

Cicero was born on Jan. 3, 106 BC, at Arpinum near Rome, the elder son of a wealthy landowner. At an early age Cicero saw military service during the Social War (90-89), but he managed to avoid involvement in the civil wars that followed. He wanted to follow a career in politics and decided first to gain a reputation as an advocate. Cicero's first appearances in court were made during the dictatorship of Sulla (81-80). In one case, while defending Sextus Roscius of Ameria on a trumped-up charge of murder, he boldly made some outspoken comments on certain aspects of Sulla's regime, and in 79 he left Rome to study in Rhodes. By 76 Cicero was back in Rome, where he married Terentia, whose family was wealthy and perhaps aristocratic. In 75 he held the office of quaestor, which brought him membe.....

Marcus Tullius Cicero Quotes I criticize by creation, not by finding fault. What is so beneficial to the people as liberty, which we see not only to be greedily sought after by men, but also by beasts, and to be preferred to all things. Philosophy, rightly defined, is simply the love of wisdom. Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief. Friendship renders prosperity more brilliant, while it lightens adversity by sharing it and making its burden common. The more laws, the less justice. The foundation of justice is good faith. Every evil in the bud is easily crushed: as it grows older, it becomes stronger. These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old; an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity; they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad; they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits. My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner. A good deed in the wrong place is like an evil deed.

Home Search Indexes E-books ... creative Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Click Here for Creative Quotations from Cicero Click Here for a random set of quotes from Cicero Marcus Tullius Cicero is best known as Rome's greatest orator and as a man of letters. Cicero, also known as Tully, was born in Arpinum (now Arpino, Italy). As a youth he studied law, oratory, literature, and philosophy in Rome. After brief military service and three years' experience as a lawyer defending private citizens, he traveled to Greece and Asia, where he continued his studies. He returned to Rome in 77 BC and began his political career. In 74 BC he was elected to the Senate. Although Cicero's family did not belong to the Roman aristocracy, he was supported in the competition for the consulship in 64 BC by most rich and powerful Romans because of their distrust of his aristocratic but less respectable rival, Lucius Sergius Catilina, known as Catiline. Cicero was elected, but during his administration Catiline organized a plot to overthrow the government. Cicero suppressed the conspiracy and had several members of Catiline's group executed. Julius Caesar and other Roman senators argued that Cicero had acted too hastily, without giving the conspirators due process of law. As a result, in 58 BC, Cicero was forced into exile. After a year in Macedonia he was recalled by the Roman general Pompey the Great. Cicero occupied himself with literature until 51 BC, when he accepted an assignment to govern the Roman province of Cilicia as proconsul. He returned to Rome in 50 BC and joined Pompey, who had become Caesar's bitter enemy. After Pompey was defeated by Caesar in 48 BC, Cicero, realizing that further resistance was hopeless, accepted Caesar's overtures of amity. While Caesar was virtual dictator of Rome, Cicero lived as a private citizen and wrote extensively. After Caesar's assassination in 44 BC, Cicero returned to politics. Hoping to see a restoration of the Republic, he supported Caesar's adopted son Octavian, who later became the emperor Augustus, in a power struggle with the Roman consul Mark Antony. Octavian and Antony were reconciled, however, and Cicero was executed as an enemy of the state on Dec. 7, 43 BC.
