О чём это
Диалог о том, что должен знать оратор. Ответ Цицерона требователен: техники мало — нужны право, история и философия, ибо не знающий предмета не сможет хорошо говорить ни о чём.
Контекст и история
Написан в 55 г. до н. э. и отнесён к 91 г.; речи вложены в уста Красса и Антония, двух ораторов предыдущего поколения, которых Цицерон слышал в юности. Он сочинял его, отстранённый от политики, и это отчасти поправка к риторическим руководствам — в том числе к его собственному юношескому «De inventione», который он позднее счёл незрелым и недостаточным.

In truth, if one man of noble birth makes a eomplaiut openly that you, by issuing an edict " that money should not bo voted for the games at Eome," caused him a loss of two hundred sestertia; how great a sum of money must have been paid, if, as had become the custom, it was eiacted in the name of all, whoever they were, that exhibited games at Eomel Although we checked these complunts of our citizens with this design, (which is estolled in Asia, I know not to what extent, and at Bome with no ordinary admiration,) inasmuch as when the cities had voted sums of money to erect a temple and monument in our honour, and when they had done so of their own OKfa-eme good-will, in return for my great services, aud for your eiceaaive kindnesses, and when the law made an exception in our favour by name, providing that " it might be permitted to receive money for a temple and a monumenti" and that which was then given was not likely to perish, but to remain among the ornaments of the temple, so as to appear to have been given, not more for my sake than that of the Roman people and tha inunorla!…
