Bibliotheca Classica, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) Synopsis

Excerpt from Bibliotheca Classica, Vol. 1

In the Verrine Orations Cicero represents Verres as an ignorant, brutal, and licentious man. He even gives him no credit for taste, though he had a passion for works of art; but here the orator has perhaps gone too far, for that Verres had some taste is proved by Cicero himself. Of the earlier part of his life Cicero says little: he professes to pass over the sins of his youth as things notorious.
