 Cicero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

She seems to have become involved with Catullus while married to Metellus, before his untimely death.
When Catullus' passionate affair with Lesbia came to an end, the poet, deeply hurt, wrote several poems against his former love, including one which charged her and her like-named brother with incest.
In several abusive poems, Catullus refers to a certain Caelius and to a certain Rufus, and at least some of this abuse seems to be pointed at the same Marcus Caelius Rufus who was defended by Cicero and who also became a lover of Clodia, apparently displacing Catullus.
