Roman orator, lawyer, politician, philosopher and writer, who lived during the tumultous times at the end of the Roman republic and the rule of the strongmen of the First Triumvirate. Famous for his speeches and loyal to the ideals of the republic, he was first exiled for a time but as the relationship between Julius Caesar and the Senate unravelled into the former's murder and civil war, Cicero was condemned by Mark Antony as a public enemy and executed in 43 BC.
