Contro INSABBIAMENTI e POTERI FORTI: la VITTORIA di Cicerone contro Gaio Verre (ep.2)

In this second episode, we follow Cicero during the decisive years that transform him from a brilliant lawyer to a respected public figure. From his experience as quaestor in Sicily, where he wins the trust of the people, to the sensational trial against Gaius Verres, a corrupt former governor, which earns him fame and popularity in Rome. The trial against Verres will be an important test for the orator, who will be forced to face numerous sabotages and cover-up attempts by the former governor's clique. Thanks to the resounding success, Cicero continues his impetuous climb to the cursus honorum, anticipating the great leap towards the consulate.
