Marcus Tullius Cicero (Latin: Marcus Tullius Cicero), otherwise Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC) - writer, speaker, politician, military commander, philosopher, jurist and Roman priest. As a politician and leader at the head of the party defending the Roman republic against Caesar, Antony and Octavian, he failed.
