Description
Cicero's fifth speech against Verres - a Roman magistrate prosecuted for his notorious misgovernment of Sicily - was never actually delivered but is nonetheless a carefully crafted piece which shows all the vigour of Cicero's oratory at its height. This edition includes introduction, the Latin text, a comprehensive commentary of the text and a vocabulary. The introduction, divided into seven sections, describes the history and condition of Sicily down to the time of Verres, with special attention to Roman administration and the duties of Roman governors. It dealing with all aspects - historical, legal, and oratorical - of the trial of Verres. The meticulous commentary and full vocabulary, all serve to make this an excellent edition for school and undergraduate students.
