M. T. Ciceronis Oratio In Verrem, De Signis. Oratio Tertia... [Latin]

By Marcus Tullius Cicero

This is Cicero's blistering attack on the corrupt governor of Sicily, Gaius Verres, delivered in the Roman Senate in 70 BCE. The oration, which focuses on Verres's theft of precious artworks and religious relics from the island's temples and public spaces, is a masterpiece of rhetoric and a scathing indictment of political corruption and greed. In this new edition, the Latin text is presented with facing-page English translation and extensive commentary, providing readers with a rich understanding of the historical, political, and literary contexts of the speech.
