Description: In the thirteenth Philippic, Cicero, in an merciless indictement, paints the senators and magistrates together with Antoine, and he takes, into a coherent whole, features scattered in previous speeches. The themes are not new: painting opponents as monsters has been used against Catiline and Clodius. He also borrowed heavily to Demosthenes. But, in this latest round of speeches, he is at the top of his art and breaks with a tactic that has proven its worth : isolating the enemy. Instead, he attacks the supporters of Antony and gives them the magnitude of an army of evil. We must see this controversy as deployment of a learned and progressive tactic, according to the political twists and turns, which the sole purpose is justifying the civil war. The extreme ferocity of speech exemplifies the desire of the speaker to make words weapons more dangerous than soldiers’. The reputation of his enemy was never raised. It is necessary to analyze the processes involved in this indisputable political victory, even if it was a Pyrrhic victory [Author]
