In the history of Ancient Rome, the figure of Marcus Tullius Cicero is one of the most significant and perhaps the most tragic. A scholar, politician, brilliant orator, who through the art of words managed to rise to the heights of power... It seemed as if the gods themselves favored their favorite, strewing his path with flowers. But the gods are fickle beings, and man is but a toy in their hands. And Rome is not an island of the blessed, Rome is a great arena where if you do not emerge victorious, your opponents will overthrow you, often with deadly consequences. The conspiracy of Catiline, an unsuccessful rival of Cicero in the consular elections, and the attempt at a state coup... The machinations of influential enemies led by the tribune Clodius, unjust accusations and a year and a half of exile... The return to Rome, the civil war between Pompey and Caesar, Caesar's death, a new rise and then a final fall... Cicero's difficult path is shown through the eyes of Tiro, a slave and Cicero's secretary, his faithful and unwavering companion who accompanied his master through moments of glory, periods of trials, heartache, and life's hardships.
