An outstanding idealist politician, a conscientious statesman, an irreconcilable fighter with tyranny and corruption, a deep theorist of rhetoric and a magnificent speaker, a flexible thinker, a brush, a philosopher close to the Stoics and a thoughtful writer who has become a legislator of words and style, Mark Tullius Cicero ( 106 BC - 43 BC) was the figure of an invariably brilliant, at times of tragic, but inspiring even in the black periods of his political and personal biography. The legacy of Cicero for centuries served Europeans with a perfect example of expressive accuracy and the richest source of knowledge about the history of ancient Rome. Even after two millennia, Cicero remains relevant, and not only as a historical source. On the material of its treatises, we still learn the harmony and breadth of thinking, and on its speeches - the principles of discussion and competent argument: skills, especially useful now, when everyone is discussing with everyone, sometimes hearing either opponents or even themselves.
