Cicero was a politician in ancient Rome who faced criticism for his actions.
His political decisions can be justified in the context of the power struggles of the time.
Cicero was attached to the republican government and did not want to see it fall.
He worked to defend the status quo and the rights of the wealthy landowners.
Cicero wanted to enter the ruling class and sought their approval.
He supported the idea of concordia ordinum, or unity between the equestrian and senatorial classes.
Cicero believed this unity was necessary for the survival of the state.
He hoped this unity would last, but understood it was based on emotional and economic motives.
Cicero's desire for merit-based entry into the ruling class remained an abstract idea.
He defended the republic until the end, even when it was just a shadow of its former self.
