Descrizione: Cicero's Philippics, composed in 44 and 43 B.C.E., serve as potent political rhetoric against Mark Antony while delving into complex themes of individual leadership versus collective governance in Rome. The speeches illustrate competing models of love and power, suggesting both the dangers posed by a dominant leader and the potential for a deep connection with citizens as essential to political stability. Through a nuanced examination of Cicero's rhetoric, especially regarding Antony's relationship with the populace, the work invites a reevaluation of leadership ethics within the context of Roman political structures.
