He was born inside a small town of Arpinum, a town southeast of Rome. huange25 https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3186232168 2024-10-24 17:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3186232168 Cicero began his career as a public advocate during a civil war which took place during 88-80 BCE. Throughout this time period a tyrannical power led by L. Cornelius Sulla was sparking chaos amidst the politicians. A system which set people up Sulla's opposing politicians to get killed called "proscriptions" resulted in many politicians getting slaughtered. During this Cicero also successfully defended Sextius Roscius huange25 https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3186239115 2024-10-24 18:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3186239115 In 75 BCE Cicero had his first official office (quaestor). This earned him a spot on the Roman Senate (Senatorial rank). huange25 https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187905068 2024-10-25 17:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187905068 Cicero was serving as a quaestor in western Sicily where he demonstrated honesty and integrity. During this time he was asked by the Sicilians in 70 BC to prosecute Gaius Verres a governor of Sicily. The defense of Verres was taken by Hortensius, the most profound lawyer at the time. Cicero's victory in this case jump started his career and fame. huange25 https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187910989 2024-10-25 17:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187910989 In 63 BCE Cicero was elected as consul, this earned him a massive amount of nobility. He went on to unite conflicting political groups to uncover a case in which individuals were planning to overthrow the government. huange25 https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187915422 2024-10-25 17:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187915422 Around 50 BC Cicero was highly respected for his "eloquence". as he didn't partake in any of the violence. He refused to take part in the 1st triumvirate and didn't recruit any gangs meaning he was left powerless. Then in 51 BC he left for Cilicia. huange25 https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187920621 2024-10-25 17:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187920621 In 49 BCE Caeser started a civil war which left much of the forces of Pompey completely destroyed. Cicero sided with Pompey and due to Caeser's dictatorship he could not serve in any political role. huange25 https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187926504 2024-10-25 18:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187926504 March 14, 44 BCE Caeser was assassinated. Brutus asked Cicero to rebuild society. And in 44-43 BCE Cicero stepped back into the spotlight as he led the senate in support of Brutus and Cassius. He disliked Mark Antony. huange25 https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187941610 2024-10-25 18:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3187941610 Octavius, grandnephew of Caeser, quickly entered the drama and started opposing Antony. Cicero saw that this as a great opportunity to brew a conflict between the two. He continues to support Brutus and Cassius. 44 BCE huange25 https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3190460806 2024-10-28 12:34:28 UTC https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3190460806 43 BCE, in a turn of events, Octavius teamed up with Marc Antony, and Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate. They ordered for Cicero to be executed via a proscription. On the day of December 7, 43 BCE, Cicero was caught trying to escape Rome and executed. Cicero was head and hands were hung from the Rostrum, a symbol representing the end of the era of free speech and rhetoric power in Rome. huange25 https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3190906091 2024-10-28 16:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3190906091 In my opinion, Cicero's top three factors that define his public speaking are his emotional aspects, his physical properties (props), and personal relevance. Cicero's ability to control people's emotions resulted in people building stronger bonds with what Cicero was saying. This in tangent with his props and personal aspects resulted in people believing what he said more easily. huange25 https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3190969704 2024-10-28 17:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/huange25/qcbnyw9w99czlr9h/wish/3190969704
