Review :
`Review from previous edition 'Cicero the Advocate - he's back, he's bad, and he's taking names!' Or so the voice-over for the trailer would growl, if this surprisingly feisty volume were a summer blockbuster coming to a movie screen near you . . . Not quite a decade after his collection Cicero the Philosopher helped make 1995 a watershed in the re-evaluation of that portion of the oeuvre, Jonathan Powell has joined with Jeremy Paterson to produce a worthy successor. The standard maintained is uniformly high, and excellence is not uncommon. We can hope that Oxford will provide a paperback version sooner rather than later, at a price teachers and even their students can actually afford. ' Bryn Mawr Classical Review `Skilled editors and a team of experts offer what is effectively an `Oxford Companion to Cicero's Forensic Speeches' - and a boon companion it is . . . Highly recommended.' Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries
