I have just finished delivering the fourteen Philippics. With these speeches i hope the power of Augustus grows and the power of Mark Antony weakened. These speeches have put me on bad terms with Mark Antony.

Having now served for some months as the Quaestor in Sicily I believe that the people there have begun to trust me. They are know asking me to prosecute Gauis Verres a governor of Sicily who had plundered it.
