De Imperio

This useful edition of Cicero’s speech De imperio Cn. Pompe was first published in Macmillan’s Modern School Classics series in 1966 and has been frequently reprinted. It contains a substantial introduction with sections on Cicero’s and Pompey’s lives, on Roman oratory, and on the historical and political background to the speech. The Latin text is followed by extensive notes on both language and context, and the edition is completed by maps and a vocabulary.
