The Life of Cicero Volume II Chapter 1 - His Return from Exile Part 1

In which Cicero, returning from exile, delivers a series of fervent speeches filled with both laudation of himself and vehement denunciations of his enemies, marking the close of his effective public career but the commencement of his literary legacy. His triumphant homecoming to Rome is shadowed by the loss of his property and the complexities of political favour, as he navigates the favour of Pompey and the resentments of his rivals while striving to restore his honour and influence.
