THE ARGUMENT

Name: The Ninth Oration Against Marcus Antonius: Called Also the Ninth Philippic - The Argument
Author: Marcus Tullius Cicero

Servius Sulpicius had died on his embassy to Marcus Antonius, before Mutina; and Pansa called the Senate together to deliberate on the honors to be paid to his memory. Pansa himself proposed a public funeral, a sepulchre, and a statue. Servilius opposed the statue, as due only to those who had been slain by violence while in the discharge of their duties as embassadors. Cicero delivered the following oration in support of Pansa’s proposition, which was carried.
