Rome in the 70s BC was a dangerous place. Politicians and generals went to war to increase their power even as political order broke down in Rome. Unemployed Romans rioted in the streets because they couldn’t get enough food. All the while more and more people from all around the republic flooded into the city, further adding to the confusion. Some Romans tried to stop the chaos in Rome’s government. One such person was Cicero (SIS-uh-roh), a gifted philosopher and orator. In his speeches Cicero called on Romans to make Rome a better place. One way to do this, he argued, was to limit the power of generals. Cicero wanted the Romans to give more support to the Senate and to restore the checks and balances on government.
