Abstract
Cicero’s speech in favour of giving Pompey the Great the command against Mithridates was delivered by Rome’s greatest orator to support the greatest general at the time. The speech can be used as a lens through which to see the role of political oratory at Rome, the power play in Roman politics and the intertwined nature of domestic and foreign policy in the Roman Republic.
