The three elements of the traditional rhetorical triad, ingenium , ars , exercitatio , essential ingredients for the attainment of eloquence in any age, have seldom, if ever, combined themselves as efficaciously as they did in the person of Marcus Tullius Cicero, the undisputed master of oratory in ancient Rome. The sixty-odd years of Cicero's life and career coincide almost exactly with the final six decades of the Roman Republic. Over the course of four decades of public service, Cicero's life and career had been, in many ways, inextricably intertwined with the major events and personalities of Rome. This chapter presents essays that attempt not only to chronicle the history and the development of Cicero's rhetoric and oratory, but also to examine in some detail their unique characteristics almost within his own lifetime. Keywords: ancient Rome; Cicero's rhetoric; Marcus Tullius Cicero
