Five of these have survived. They arc not only interesting in their own right but also provide a mine of information about the turbulent history of the Ciceronian age, and are consequently studied by all those who work on the history of the final years of the Roman Republic. This book contains a new translation of the commentaries, alongside the Latin text prepared by A. C. Clark for the Oxford Classical Texts series in 1907.The translation is supplemented by a commentary, focusing on historical material, an introduction, a glossary of technical terms, and indices of personal names and oflegislation referred to by Asconius.The volume therefore presents the original text of this important source for the history of the late Republic together with the necessary tools to make it accessible to students. / Contents Introduction Abbreviations Sigla Texts and Translations Against Piso (In Pisonem) On Behalf of Scaurus (Pro Scauro) On Behalf of Milo (Pro Milone) On Behalf of Cornelius (Pro Cornelio) As a Candidate (In toga Candida) Commentary Against Piso (In Pisonem) On Behalf of Scaurus (Pro Scauro) On Behalf of Milo (Pro Milone) On Behalf of Cornelius (Pro Cornelio) As a Candidate (In toga Candida) Glossary Index of Personal Names Laws and Rogations in Asconius Bibliography Index.
