Cicero's first published speech, the Pro Quinctio , was delivered in 81 under Sulla dictator . At the beginning of this oration Cicero speaks of other cases he had undertaken; he had appeared in earlier civil actions during the same year. Cicero employed many of the same ethical strategies he had used in the Pro Qyinctio in the Pro Roscio Amerino , his first criminal case, argued in the following year. The trial involved an accusation of parricide against Sextus Roscius of Ameria, whose father had appeared on the list of those proscribed under Sulla. The preconsular speeches were concerned with crafting an image of the orator that would transcend the moment of the speech. His electoral success was not, therefore, as he claims in the speech, owed merely to the legal support he had given to his friends or to the mastery of his art attained during his long oratorical tirocinium . Keywords: Cicero; preconsular speeches; Pro Quinctio ; Sextus Roscius
