De Oratore

Marcus Tullius Cicero

"During the 50's, as he[Cicero] withdrew from the collapsing world of republican politics, he found consolation in writing on philosophy and rhetoric, and arguing against his literary antagonists, who were principally Julius Caesar, Calvus, Marcus Brutus, and Asinius Pollio. By the end of 55 he had finished De Oratore, a treatise in three books on rhetoric, designed to replace his early work on the same subject, De inventione ('on invention'), written before he was 25;. . ."

--Excerpt from "Cicero", The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature, Oxford UP, Oxford: 1993
