Descriere. Editie bilingvă. Traducere, note si comentarii, bibliografie, indici de Claudia Tărnăuceanu. Celebrele discursuri contra lui Verres, dintre care doar primul a fost rostit la procesul propriu-zis, atent elaborate, după toate regulile artei retorice, prezintă un interes deosebit, constituind, în opinia lui J. Humbert, „l’actio totale”, seria completă a unor discursuri de acuzare rostite la un proces important. Prin această ediţie, ne propunem să punem la dispoziţia lectorului interesat traducerea în limba română, însoţită de note şi comentarii, a celei de-a doua oraţii ciceroniene din seria Verrinelor, In C. Verrem actio prima. Discursul a fost rostit împotriva lui Caius Verres, fostul guvernator al Siciliei, acuzat de concusiune (de pecuniis repetundis), la prima acțiune a procesului acestia, când Cicero a pledat pentru prima dată în calitate de acuzator.
