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 with the art of words ... It would seem that the gods themselves patronize their pet, strewn his path with flowers. But the gods are changeable creatures, a person in their hands is a toy. And Rome is not an island of the blessed, Rome is a big arena where, if you don't win, your opponents will overthrow you, and often with a fatal outcome. The conspiracy of Catiline, an unsuccessful rival of Cicero in the consular elections, and an attempted coup d'état ... The intrigues of influential enemies led by the popular tribune Clodius, an unjust accusation and a year and a half of exile ... Return to Rome, a civil war between Pompey and Caesar, the death of Caesar, a new rise and after followed by a final fall... Cicero's difficult path is shown through the eyes of Tyrone, Cicero's slave and secretary, his faithful and unchanging companion, who accompanied his master in moments of glory, periods of trials, heart troubles and worldly hardships.
