In the history of ancient Rome, the figure of Marcus Tullius Cicero is one of the most significant and perhaps the most tragic. A scientist, a politician, a brilliant orator who managed to rise to the heights of power through the art of speech... It would seem that the gods themselves patronize their favorite, sprinkling his path with flowers. But the gods are fickle creatures, man in their hands - a toy. And Rome is not an island of the blessed, Rome is a large arena, where if you do not win, your rivals will defeat you, and often with a fatal outcome. Conspiracy Catilina, unsuccessful rival Cicero in the consular elections, and an attempted coup d'état ... The intrigues of powerful enemies led by the people's tribune Clodius, unjust accusation and a year and a half of exile ... The return to Rome, the civil war between Pompey and Caesar, Caesar's death, a new rise, followed by a final fall... Cicero's difficult path is shown through the eyes of Tyrone, Cicero's slave and secretary, his faithful and permanent companion, who accompanied his master in moments of glory, periods of trials, heartbreak and hardships of life.
