On this module students will read selections from a prescribed speech of Cicero on a political topic. The level of Latin is moderately advanced, suitable for students in their second year of studying Latin at university, or who have a Leaving Certificate qualification in Latin; in addition, Cicero’s speeches shed light on politics and government in late Republican Rome, as well as on personal relationships between leading figures of the period, such as Cicero, Marcus Licinius Crassus, Gaius Julius Caesar, and Marcus Porcius Cato. Although the emphasis of the module is on reading and translating original Latin, students will also learn about the principles and practice of oratory, and the eventful period of the 60s and 50s BC in Roman republican politics.
