In this episode of Rubicon, we explore the life and legacy of Marcus Tullius Cicero, the greatest orator in Roman history. From humble beginnings in Arpinum, Cicero rose to become a pivotal figure in Roman politics, using his unparalleled rhetorical skills to shape policy and influence the fate of the Roman Republic. His famous defense of justice against corrupt officials like Gaius Verres set the stage for his rise to power, but his unyielding idealism ultimately led to his tragic downfall. Learn how Cicero’s principles of ethics, logic, and emotion continue to resonate today, influencing modern political discourse and shaping the art of persuasion. This episode dives deep into the lessons we can learn from Cicero’s life—about power, politics, survival, and the dangers of sticking too rigidly to ideals.
