Read the full account

Loeb/Perseus Pro Cluentio is a long hired defence in a family-poisoning case. Advocacy that treats courts as a craft can be due process and can be office-opacity.

Context

Cicero is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.
