Book Overview

Ciceronis Pro Archia Et Pro Balbo Orationes is a book written by Charles H. Crosse, published in 1879. The book is a collection of two speeches made by Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman orator and politician, in defense of two of his clients - Archias and Balbus. The first speech, Pro Archia, was delivered in 62 BC and argues for the citizenship and rights of Archias, a Greek poet and friend of Cicero. The second speech, Pro Balbo, was delivered in 56 BC and defends the Roman citizenship of Balbus, an influential politician from Spain. Crosse's book provides a translation of both speeches from Latin into English, along with notes and commentary to aid the reader's understanding of the historical context and rhetorical techniques used by Cicero.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
