Cicero
Cicero (Marcus Tullius) (106-43 BC), Roman writer, statesman, and orator.
Although he had a distinguished political career, he is best known as Rome's
greatest orator and as a man of letters. Born in Arpinum (now Arpino, Italy),
he is also known in English as Tully. As a youth he studied law, oratory,
literature, and philosophy in Rome. After brief military service and three
years' experience as a lawyer defending private citizens, he traveled to
Greece and Asia, where he continued his studies.
