Description
The Roman statesman Lucius Licinius Murena led legions in the Mithridatic Wars and subsequently became administrator of Transalpine Gaul. On his election as consul in 62 BC he was accused of bribery and defended by (among others) Cicero, in this famous speech. Murena was acquitted, though the balance of opinion is that he was probably guilty. This school edition includes introduction, the Latin text, notes and vocabulary.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE) was a Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher. Born at Arpinium of a wealthy local family and educated in Rome, Cicero went on to a successful political career and became one of the greatest Roman orators. His life coincided with the last days of the Roman Republic and his works reflect the turmoil of that period.
