Chr held in Rome. In it he defended Titus Annius Milo, who was accused of the murder of Publius Clodius Pulcher .

content

Cicero leads a "staggered defense" and denied successively that the accusation applies to the accused, the act and its assessment: The perpetrators were therefore Milos' slaves ( status coniecturalis ) . In addition, it was not murder , but self-defense (status finitionis) . After all, Milo would even earn divine honors as a tyrant murderer (status qualitatis) .
