Cicero, "Philippics" 3-9 - Volume 1 : Introduction, text and translation, references and indexes

The two-volume edition provides the first comprehensive scholarly commentary on seven central orations from the corpus of Cicero's Philippics.

These orations against Mark Antony are an important testimony to the critical final phase of the Roman Republic.

The notes on each speech explain linguistic, literary and historical issues (vol. 2). They are based on a revised Latin text with facing English translation as well as a detailed introduction dealing with problems relevant to the whole corpus (vol. 1).
