This book combines clear and lucid writing with a fascinating subject -- the life of Marcus Tullius Cicero, probably the greatest of all Roman Senators. Cicero lived through the end of the Republican stage of Rome and died just as Augustus would transform Rome into an authoritarian Empire. Cicero has been portrayed by different authors in different ways -- as a vain and somewhat childish man, or, as here, as an imperfect human being but essentially a ruthlessly intelligent and tough-minded man, harsh in judgment of folly and dedicated to Rome's Republican principles. In this book the author captures the various famous nuances of Cicero's career, including his vanity after the Catiline affair, and his intelligence and ruthlessness during and after the reign of Julius Caesar.I have only read a few biographies of Cicero, but I found this one to easily be the most readable of them. The author does an excellent job of explaining how Rome's system of government worked, its essential nature as an oligarchy dominated by a few noble families, which goes to the extraordinary ability of Cicero that was required to enable him, a New Man, to ascend to Rome's highest office, Consul, through sheer ability. This singular fact about Cicero should erase any doubt about the superlative ability as a lawyer, a politician, and a scholar that enabled Cicero to do what very few Romans ever did -- advance above his class by ability alone.Readers who are looking for a highly readable but still scholarly work dealing with Cicero and his times will enjoy this excellent book. RJB.
I turned to this book because I'm back teaching and one of my classes is middle school ancient history. I haven't studied that myself since many years ago when I was a very indifferent student in Miss Roberta Brown's seventh grade ancient history class at Port Allegany Union High School. I ended up with this book but don't quite remember why I chose it of the several available.The book is of a manageable size--325 pages--rather than something formidable like 750. I persevered reading the rather small type because I wanted to know more about Cicero, considered one of the great writers and players in antiquity. As I have been teaching, I've been struck by what we can learn from the Greeks and Romans about good government that applies to us today. Thus the allusion to what is past is prologue. (In fact, the Founding Fathers were much influenced by Cicero and several others.) I would have appreciated reading more direct quotations from Cicero, which were somewhat limited in the book. Perhaps Everitt and his editors limited them to keep the book from becoming unbearably long. (In any event, there are several collections of Cicero's writings for those who want to read his original works.)There are so many unfamiliar names and terms in the book that it would have greatly benefitted from a list of characters and a glossary of terms. (There is a useful timeline of events and people.) I imagine that many people are like me, with little or no knowledge of these people and terms. Thus, the need for these helps.
This is a great book and essential reading if you want to understand what was happening in the final decades of the Roman Republic. Great men are forged by troubled times. The overthrow of the Republic was one of the most troubled in history and Cicero was one of the greatest in history. Before this book I had read the usual Shakespeare and shallow event-oriented presentations of Caesar, Pompey, Cato, Cassius, Mark Antony, and Octavius, but I had never read a detailed history of the period nor anything specifically about Cicero. Whether you are a history buff, a political science buff or interested in investigating how governmental systems become non-functional in light of the current dysfunction in Washington, DC, this is an informative resource and a good read.
Odds are, you have heard of Cicero. Considered one of Rome's greatest orators, his writings are the main influence on how way we remember the last days of the Roman republic. The story of Cicero's life is the story of end of Republican Rome. All of the major players of the era: Caesar, Marc Antony, Cleopatra, Brutus and Octavian (soon to be Augustus) all make an appearance in his life. In his role as one of the world's first brilliant statesman and backroom player, Cicero was friends and enemies with all of them. From Everitt's book, it seems Cicero was, at times, courageous in his rhetoric and at times, he was cowardly. He always tried to see all the angels and jockeyed for a position that put him in the best place politically while betraying as few of his political convictions as possible. In the end, he wound up on the wrong side of Marc Antony and was killed.The story in getting from provincial boy to one of the most powerful men in Rome is fascinating. I am no expert on Roman history. I have read no other biography of Cicero. But to my tastes, Everitt's biography of Cicero is excellent for the reader with a casual interest in this time period in Rome. Not only does it give us insight into what a complicated person Cicero was (both arrogant and generous; brilliant in the courtroom and terrified of physical injury) but also perhaps more importantly it is an excellent primer on the death of the Roman republic. The story of Rome's decent into dictatorship, the attempt at recovering republicanism, and then the reassertion of dictatorship is the stuff that western history is made of, and Everitt's book is a good place to get a sense of who did what when and what Cicero had to say about it. Recommended.
