- De_Oratore,_Book_III abstract "De Oratore, Book III is the third part of De Oratore by Cicero. It describes the death of Lucius Licinius Crassus.They belong to the generation, which precedes the one of Cicero: the main characters of the dialogue are Marcus Antonius (not the triumvir) and Lucius Licinius Crassus (not the person who killed Julius Caesar); other friends of them, such as Gaius Iulius Caesar (not the dictator), Sulpicius and Scaevola intervene occasionally.At the beginning of the third book, which contains Crassus' exposition, Cicero is hit by a sad memory. He expresses all his pain to his brother Quintus Cicero. He reminds him that only nine days after the dialogue, described in this work, Crassus died suddenly.He came back to Rome the last day of the ludi scaenici (19 September 91 BC), very worried by the speech of the consul Lucius Marcius Philippus.He made a speech before the people, claiming the creation of a new council in place of the Roman Senate, with which he could not govern the State any longer.Crassus went to the curia (the palace of the Senate) and heard the speech of Drusus, reporting \tLucius Marcius Philippus' speech and attacking him.In that occasion, everyone agreed that Crassus, the best orator of all, overcame himself with his eloquence.He blamed the situation and the abandonment of the Senate: the consul, who should be his good father and faithful defender, was depriving it of its dignity like a robber.No need of surprise, indeed, if he wanted to deprive the State of the Senate, after having ruined the first one with his disastrous projects.Philippus was a vigorous, eloquent and smart man: when he was attacked by the Crassus' firing words, he counter-attacked him until he made him keep silent.But Crassus replied:\" You, who destroyed the authority of the Senate before the Roman people, do you really think to intimidate me? If you want to keep me silent, you have to cut my tongue. And even if you do it, my spirit of freedom will hold tight your arrogance\".Crassus' speech lasted a long time and he spent all of his spirit, his mind and his forces.Crassus' resolution was approved by the Senate, stating that \"not the authority nor the loyalty of the Senate ever abandoned the Roman State\".When he was speaking, he had a pain in his side and, after he came home, he got fever and died of pleurisy in six days.How insecure is the destiny of a man!, Cicero says. Just in the peak of his public career, Crassus reached the top of the authority, but also destroyed all his expectations and plans for the future by his death.This sad episode caused pain, not only to Crassus' family, but also to all the honest citizens.Cicero adds that, in his opinion, the immortal gods gave Crassus his death as a gift, to preserve him from seeing the calamities that would befall the State a short time later.Indeed, he has not seen Italy burning by the social war (91-87 BC), neither the people's hate against the Senate, the escape and return of Gaius Marius, the following revenges, killings and violence.".
