Summary
The trial of Gaius Verres. The disgraced former praetor of Sicily. Embezzler, thief, blasphemer.
It was to be the trial of the century, redefining the senate's response to corruption and crime.
And who was heading this rally against the symbol of senatorial greed? Why, Marcus Tullius Cicero, of course.
Going up against the oratorial powerhouse of Hortensius and the criminal guile of Gaius Verres was all worth it for the joy it brought the Roman people (and for the fat pile of money Cicero would get if he won).
Crime, corruption, love, and hate.
Is the case worth the cost to those involved?
