 | | Marcus Tullius Cicero (IPA: [ˈsɪsərəʊ]; Classical pronunciation: [ˈkikeroː] ; January 3, 106 BC – December 7, 43 BC) was an orator, statesman, political theorist, lawyer and philosopher of Ancient Rome. |
 | | It was both due to the potential (though never realised) wrath of the dictator and a sudden attack of laryngitis brought on by Cicero’s early speaking style that prompted his trip to Greece and Rhodes. |
 | | While there, he visited with Publius Rutilius Rufus, a former magistrate who had been exiled to Asia and held staunch Republican ideals, and with Posidonius, a famed philosopher and scholar who also held an idealized view of Rome in the world. |
