| Abstract: | Cicero’s ‘Philippics’, the Second in particular, hit out at Antony to such a personal extent that revenge followed inevitably. Juvenal regarded the unforgivable Second Philippic as the cause of Cicero’s deaths "Eloquio sed uterque perit orator" (Sat. X. 118) and he goes on to address the Second Philippic: “Ridenda poemata malo, quam te conspicuae, divina philippica, famae, volveris a prima quae proxima” (Sat. X. 124-126) |
