Mike’s Reviews > Cicero: The Life and Times of Rome's Greatest Politician > Status Update

Ever notice how every Roman whose name starts with a C was kind of an asshole? Caesar: ambitious asshole. Cato: censorious asshole. Catiline: populist asshole. Crassus: forgettable asshole. Cassius: traitorous asshole. Catallus: profane asshole. Commodus: monstrous asshole. Cicero, as a self-righteous yet articulate asshole, likely comes off the best of the lot.
