In 56 BC, he defended Marcus Caelius Rufus, who was being prosecuted on charges of violence, including the attempted poisoning of Roman noblewoman Clodia, with whom Caelius previously had an affair. Cicero’s primary tactic was to blacken the character and reliability of Clodia, whom he depicts as the woman scorned, prosecuting Caelius out of revenge. Drawing on characters well known from Roman comedy, Cicero casts Caelius as the decent young man victimised by the aggressive courtesan, thereby shaming Clodia and glossing over the more awkward charges levelled at his client.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupporting resources are available on the Companion Website: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbury.pub\/OCR-editions-2024-2026\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.bloomsbury.pub\/OCR-editions-2024-2026\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47462709068012,"sku":"9781350156432","price":38.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350156432-cicero-pro-caelio-a-selection.jpg?v=1775021665"},{"product_id":"herodotus-book-iii-by-georgina-longley-9781350282797","title":"Herodotus: Book III","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis accessible edition for students presents Herodotus as one of the most fascinating and colourful authors from the ancient world. \u003cem\u003eBook III\u003c\/em\u003e of Herodotus’ nine-book work is one of the richest in its exploration of themes, such as the practices and customs of different peoples and the nature of political power, issues still much debated today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis commentary illuminates the geographical and even anthropological scope of Herodotus' history, and enables students to confidently tackle the text in the original Greek.
