Excerpt from The Life of Marcus Tullius Cicero, Vol. 3 of 3
Cicero was present at the death of Caesar in the Senate; "where he had the pleasure," he tells us, "to see the tyrant perish as he deserved." By this accident he was freed at once from all subjection to a superiour, and all the uneasiness and indignity of managing a power, which every moment could oppress him. He was now, without competition, the first citizen in Rome; the first in that credit and authority both with the senate and people, which illustrious merit and services will necessarily give in a free city.
