   introductory note (1)

   The most important orations of the last months of his life were the fourteen “Philippics” delivered against Antony, and the price of this enmity he paid with his life.

   Cicero's Philippics are explicitly cited on questions of who counts as a foreign enemy and on ambassadorial dignity.

   Upon this topic, the authority of Cicero may be cited, who, in order to shew the impropriety of sending ambassadors to Antony, observes, that they are not dealing with a Hannibal or a foreign enemy, but with one of their own citizens.

   Plutarch explicitly names Cicero's Philippics and its charge that Antony caused the civil war, then immediately and at length argues this is manifestly false, making the stance one of refutation.

   Therefore Cicero, in his Philippics, wrote that as Helen was the cause of the Trojan war, so Antony was the cause of the civil war.

   Cicero's own speeches against Antony, which he titled Philippics, are cited as a named work whose authorship the passage treats as a settled fact, without endorsing or refuting their content.

   But Antony, who spoke of the marriage in his replies to Cicero’s Philippics, says that he cast out of doors the wife with whom he had grown old, and at the same time makes witty jibes upon the stay-at-home habits of Cicero, who was, he said, unfit for business or military service.
