There was a time when Cicero held Caesar's life in the palm of his hand. But now
Caesar is the dominant figure and Cicero's life is in ruins.
Exiled, separated
from his wife and children, his possessions confiscated, his life constantly in
danger, Cicero is tormented by the knowledge that he has sacrificed power for th
e sake of his principles.
His comeback requires wit, skill and courage - and for
a brief and glorious period, the legendary orator is once more the supreme sena
tor in Rome.
