Dedication: This episode is dedicated to the Memory of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. A Sovereign Lady of the United Kingdom and of the British Commonwealth, a worthy successor to her royal forefathers and a great servant of country, her free people and their laws.   We are all familiar with the Fall of the Roman Republic by the hands of Caesar in 49 BC. But few people are aware of an earlier attempt to overthrow the Republic in 62 BC, known as the Catiline Plot.  In this episode we will observe the career of Marcus Tulius Cicero and how he saved the late Roman Republic and secured a modicum of Liberty in the Empire.  Art: Cicero denounces Catilina, Caesar Maccari, 1889, Fresco.
