The speech "Pro Milone" is among the most famous speeches of Cicero. In it, he defends his friend T. Annius Milo against the accusation that he killed P. Clodius Pulcher, his own rival. The death of Clodius, Milo's trial, and their consequences dominated public life in Rome in 52 BC, involving every major political figure of the time. Although Cicero's defense failed, the published speech remains one of his best, an intriguing document from a turbulent era, rich in historical and rhetorical interest.

This edition, designed for students and scholars, provides readers with the assistance they need to appreciate the speech as a literary masterpiece and historical text. It includes an extensive introduction and a revised Latin text, as well as a detailed analysis of Cicero's language, style, and rhetorical techniques, along with a comprehensive discussion of the historical context and the broader social and cultural issues related to the speech.
