In the history of Ancient Rome, the figure of Marcus Tullius Cicero is one of the most significant and, perhaps, the most tragic. A scientist, a politician, a brilliant orator who managed to rise to the heights of power through the art of words... It would seem that the gods themselves patronize their favorite, strewing his path with flowers. But the gods are fickle creatures, and man is a toy in their hands. And Rome is not the island of the blessed, Rome is a big arena where if you don’t win, your opponents will overthrow you, and often with fatal results. The conspiracy of Catiline, an unsuccessful rival of Cicero in the consular elections, and an attempted coup... The machinations of influential enemies led by the people's tribune Clodius, an unjust accusation and a year and a half of exile... Return to Rome, the civil war between Pompey and Caesar, the death of Caesar, a new rise and then behind him is a fall, already final... Cicero’s difficult path is shown through the eyes of Tyrone, Cicero’s slave and secretary, his faithful and constant companion, who accompanied his master in moments of glory, periods of trials, heartbreak and everyday adversity.
