About this listen

In 63 BC, Marcus Tullius Cicero, a "novus homo" from Arpinum, became consul and faced a conspiracy led by the disgruntled patrician Lucius Sergius Catilina. This episode dives into the Catilinarian Conspiracy—how Cicero exposed the plot through his famous orations, convinced the Senate to pass the Senatus Consultum Ultimum, and executed the conspirators without trial. We explore the political tension between populares and optimates, the role of Gaius Julius Caesar in the debate, and the lasting constitutional controversy over Cicero's actions. Discover how a lawyer-orator temporarily saved the Republic but sowed seeds for its eventual fall.
