Cicero is generally considered the gold standard for Latin prose and is often considered one of the best orators in European history.
Pro Caelio is the speech that defines Cicero after his return from exile, when in 56BC he finds himself in the febrile atmosphere of a Rome on the brink of Civil War.
We will be translating the speech in its entirety from the Latin
