These amazing beauty, graceful and at the same time stylistically rigorous texts - the pinnacle of the creative path of one of the greatest orators of the ancient world, rightfully nicknamed Chrysostom.

In addition, the edition is equipped with an extensive reference and bibliographic apparatus: detailed historical and philological commentaries, an annotated index, and an album of illustrations, allowing the reader to get a clearer picture of the ancient realities described in the speeches.
