Cicero, M. T. Born at Arpinum, was son of a Roman knight and lineally descended from the ancient kings of the Sabines. In youth he displayed many abilities, and was taught philosophy by Philo, and law by Mutius Scaevola. He applied himself with great diligence to the study of oratory and was distinguished above all the speakers of his time in the Roman Forum. He signalized himself in opposing Catiline, whom he publicly accused of treason against the state, and whom he drove from the city. After a number of vicissitudes of fortune he was assassinated, B. c. 43, at the age of sixtythree.
