Valeria, Lucius Valerius Flaccus, Cicero, successionAbstract
In 59 BC, Lucius Valerius Flaccus was tried for concussion as a result of a series of presumably irregular acts committed three years earlier as governor of the province of Asia. His defence was undertaken, among others, by Marcus Tullius Cicero, who recalls that among the various charges against the accused was the fact that he had taken advantage of his position to take the inheritance of a young woman named Valeria. This work analyses the various arguments used by Cicero to defend his client against an accusation that could end his political career.
