Abstract:
A strong case could have been drawn up against Roscius and there are serious
weaknesses in Cicero’s defence, so much so that even a conscientious and
unintimated jury might have condemned him, though not necessarily rightly. It
is for this reason that Cicero has to divert attention from his client by attacking
Magnus and Capito and especially Chrysogonus.
