Title: Cicero. Über Macht und Ohnmacht eines Intellektuellen in der Politik
Review/Collection: "Der altsprachliche Unterricht", XXIX, 2
Year edition: 1986
Pages: 7-16
Keywords: Biographie - Biografia - Biography, Histoire - Storia - History, Politique - Politica - Politics
Description: Against the background of the historical and social context of the civil war-like conditions in the declining Roman Republic, the article attempts to trace Cicero's life and, in particular, his path as a politician. The author's main concern is to find an explanation for Cicero's probably most serious political blunder, which led the convinced republican to regard the later autocrat and emperor Augustus as an advocate of the res publica and therefore to support him in his conflict with Antony: A decision that had a decisive influence on the final defeat of the republican forces and which Cicero himself ultimately paid for with his life.
