In 66 BC Aulus Cluentius Habitus was tried for the attempted murder of Statius Albius Oppianicus the Elder. The prosecutor was Sassia Cluentius own mother. Marcus Tullius Cicero the famous statesman orator and lawyer defended Cluentius in his Pro Cluentio a persuasive oratorical tour de force. The selections in this edition prove that Cicero was not above using character assassinations in his speeches first attacking Oppianicus the Elder then Sassia in a vivid melodramatic narrative which distracts and diverts the jury from Cluentius alleged crimes. Resources are available on the Companion Website.
