Intrigues

Cicero was a man who thought public order was the most important thing. So I think he would rather prefer ceaser left to govern some far away place rather than him getting stabbed by his fellow romans.

Probably not, Cicero was old as fuck back then and at peace with Ceasar (Cicero was present in Pompey's camp during battle of Pharsalus, but Ceasar forgave him and treated him with utmost respect). Cicero was mostly focused on writing philosophical works serving as a mean of consolation for his daughter's death. He kept away from politics during Ceasar's reign. He only came back to it when he wanted to slander Marc Anthony, which ended badly for him.

Thank you for your insight, I forgot that he was already pretty old by then. Ifind it fascinating that he didn't interfere with Ceaser by the time he was dictator yet completely changed his approach when Marcus Antonius came into power.

What must Antonius have done to him for making Cicero so angry and making him write those Philippicae. It's almost amusing reading those speeches.

Nobody liked Anthony, he was generally a piece of shit. Caesar was a kind man to those who never wronged him.

Yes, that makes sense, Ceasar often spared the life of opponents and probably had mutual respect for Cicero who Ifeel always wrote against Roman usurpers and dictators yet never got in danger. But when Anthony came he completely went mental and called for war and got killed.

Ceaser let go of people who wronged him once. But he always killed them if they did it again. In brutal traditional roman way.
