Marcus T. Cicero (106

Roman statesman whose literary and philosophical writings have been profoundly influential

Cicero is regarded as Rome's greatest orator. His political life - which saw him elected Roman consul - concluded in 45 BC after which he dedicated himself to literature and philosophy. His treatises have been very influential on poets and prose writers, both because of their philosophical content and their eloquent style.

Cicero lived during the decline of the Roman empire, and his writings, which reveal both political and social circumstances of the time, have been very valuable to historians.
