De qué trata
Un volumen de los discursos de Cicerón en traducción inglesa: acusaciones, defensas e intervenciones ante el senado o el pueblo.
Contexto e historia
Hay algo que cambia cómo deben leerse: estos textos no son lo que se dijo en el tribunal. Cicerón publicaba los discursos después, revisados y pulidos, y a veces muy cambiados. El caso famoso es el Pro Milone: el discurso que nos ha llegado no es el que pronunció —aquel día lo interrumpieron y Milón fue condenado—, sino la versión que escribió después, tal como le habría gustado decirlo. Son literatura tanto como documento judicial. El reparto en volúmenes es del 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 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.…
