Un volum dels discursos de Ciceró en traducció anglesa: acusacions, defenses i intervencions davant el senat o el poble.
Context i història
Hi ha una cosa que canvia com s'han de llegir: aquests textos no són el que es va dir al tribunal. Ciceró publicava els discursos després, revisats i polits, i de vegades molt canviats. El cas famós és el Pro Milone: el discurs que ens ha arribat no és el que va pronunciar —aquell dia el van interrompre i Milò va ser condemnat—, sinó la versió que va escriure després, tal com li hauria agradat dir-lo. Són literatura tant com a document judicial. El repartiment en volums és de l'editor.

A few days afterwards the senate was delivered from the danger of bloodshed, and a hook[5] was fixed into that runaway slave who had usurped the name of Caius Marius. And all these things he did in concert with his colleague. Some other things that were done were the acts of Dolabella alone; but, if his colleague had not been absent, would, I believe, have been done by both of them in concert. For when enormous evil was insinuating itself into the republic, and was gaining more strength day by day; and when the same men were erecting a tomb[6] in the forum, who had performed that irregular funeral; and when abandoned men, with slaves like themselves, were every day threatening with more and more vehemence all the houses and temples of the city; so severe was the rigour of Dolabella, not only towards the audacious and wicked slaves, but also towards the profligate and unprincipled freemen, and so prompt was his overthrow of that accursed pillar, that it seems marvellous to me that the subsequent time has been so different from that one day. For behold, on the first of June, on which day they had given notice that we were all to attend the senate, everything was changed. Nothing was done by the senate, but many and important measures were transacted by the agency of the people, though that people was both absent and disapproving. The consuls elect said, that they did not dare to come into the senate.…
