Catilinarias (Discursos contra Catilina)

Catilinarias (Discursos contra Catilina), written by Marcus Tullius Cicero in 63 BC, consists of four speeches delivered in the Roman Senate during a political crisis involving the conspirator Catiline. Cicero's oratory skills shine as he warns the Senate and the Roman people about Catiline's plot to overthrow the Republic, ultimately leading to Catiline's disgrace and flight from Rome. This work is notable for its rhetorical brilliance and its role in shaping political discourse, and it is presented in the translation by Luis Navarro from the 19th century.
