Fragmentary Speeches

Although Cicero's oratory is well attested-of 106 known speeches, fifty-eight survive intact or in large part-the sixteen speeches that survive only in quotations by later authors nevertheless fill gaps in our knowledge of Rome's greatest orator. This edition includes all speeches with attested fragments, together with testimonia.
