Cicero presents the lurid details of Verres' alleged crimes in exquisite and sophisticated prose. This volume provides a portion of the original text of Cicero's speech in Latin, a detailed commentary, study aids, and a translation. As a literary artefact, the speech gives us insight into how the supreme master of Latin eloquence developed what we would now call rhetorical "spin". As an historical document, it provides a window into the dark underbelly of Rome's imperial expansion and exploitation of the Near East. Table of contents : Acknowledgements - Preface - Introduction - Latin text and study questions - Commentary - List of abbreviations - List of rhetorical terms - Translation -Appendix: issues for further discussion - Map
