1How many orations make up Cicero's series of speeches against Mark Antony known as the Philippicae?
A.Fourteen
B.Twelve
C.Four
D.Seven
Explanation: Cicero delivered and published a set of fourteen orations against Mark Antony between September 44 BC and April 43 BC, collectively known as the Philippicae (the Philippics).
2Why did Cicero himself apply the name 'Philippicae' to his speeches against Antony?
A.He compared his own campaign against Antony to Demosthenes' orations warning Athens against Philip II of Macedon
B.The speeches were first delivered in the Macedonian city of Philippi
C.Antony's family name was Philippus
D.The title reflects a philosophical school Cicero followed
Explanation: Cicero drew the parallel himself, most famously in a letter to Brutus, likening his resistance to Antony to Demosthenes' fourth-century Athenian orations against the expansionist king Philip II of Macedon.
3What event immediately set the political crisis in motion that Cicero addresses throughout the Philippics?
A.The assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March, 44 BC
B.The outbreak of the Third Punic War
C.The death of Cato the Younger at Utica
D.Antony's proclamation as a client-king of Egypt
Explanation: Caesar's assassination on 15 March 44 BC left a power vacuum that Antony, as surviving consul, tried to fill; Cicero's Philippics respond directly to Antony's subsequent actions in the following months.
4What was Cicero's central rhetorical aim across the Philippic orations?
A.To brand Antony a would-be tyrant and public enemy (hostis) and rally the Senate to resist him
B.To secure a formal triumph for his own past military service
C.To defend himself in a private lawsuit over inherited property
D.To negotiate a peaceful power-sharing arrangement between Antony and Caesar's assassins
Explanation: Cicero repeatedly casts Antony as a lawless would-be autocrat threatening the res publica, pushing the Senate toward declaring him a hostis (public enemy) and backing armed resistance.
5What is distinctive about the Second Philippic among the fourteen orations?
A.It was never actually delivered as a spoken speech in the Senate but circulated as a written pamphlet
B.It is the only speech addressed directly to Octavian rather than Antony
C.It survives only in a Greek translation
D.It was delivered on the same day as Caesar's funeral
Explanation: The Second Philippic, often considered the most savage in tone, was composed and circulated as a devastating written invective rather than delivered live in the Senate.
6Whom did Cicero promote in the Philippics as a political counterweight to Antony?
A.Octavian, Caesar's young adopted heir
B.Lepidus, Antony's future fellow triumvir
C.Sextus Pompey, based in Sicily
D.Decimus Brutus, to the exclusion of every other figure
Explanation: Cicero backed the teenage Octavian, hoping to use Caesar's heir and his private army against Antony while keeping the young man dependent on senatorial goodwill.
7Ancient tradition preserves a pun Cicero made about Octavian using a double meaning of which Latin verb?
A.Tollere, meaning both 'to raise up/honor' and 'to remove/do away with'
B.Ducere, meaning both 'to lead' and 'to marry'
C.Capere, meaning both 'to seize' and 'to understand'
D.Ferre, meaning both 'to carry' and 'to endure'
Explanation: According to the tradition preserved by later writers, Cicero remarked that the young man should be 'laudandum, ornandum, tollendum' - praised, honored, and tollendum, a barbed pun since tollere could mean either 'elevated' or, more darkly, 'disposed of'.
8What ultimately happened to Cicero after the Second Triumvirate was formed in 43 BC?
A.He was placed on the proscription lists and killed on Antony's orders in December 43 BC
B.He was exiled to Massilia (Marseille) but survived into old age
C.He was pardoned and appointed censor for life
D.He fled to Egypt and lived under Cleopatra's protection
Explanation: Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus struck a bargain of mutual proscriptions; Antony, still smarting from the Philippics, insisted on Cicero's name being included, and Cicero was hunted down and killed in December 43 BC.
9According to the tradition recorded by the historian Cassius Dio, how did Antony's wife Fulvia treat Cicero's severed head?
A.She reportedly pierced its tongue with a hairpin in a final act of revenge for the Philippics
B.She had it embalmed and displayed in her family shrine
C.She sent it to Cleopatra as a diplomatic gift
D.She ordered it buried privately out of respect for his rank
Explanation: Cassius Dio's Roman History reports that Fulvia took Cicero's severed head and pierced the tongue with a hairpin, symbolically punishing the oratory that had savaged her husband.
10Where were Cicero's severed head and hands publicly displayed after his death?
A.On the Rostra, the speakers' platform in the Roman Forum
B.At the Circus Maximus during chariot races
C.Outside the Senate House in Arpinum, his hometown
D.Nailed to the doors of Antony's private villa
Explanation: As grim political theater, Antony had Cicero's head and hands nailed to the Rostra, the very platform from which Cicero had delivered his speeches, silencing the orator's voice and hands in the place he had used them against Antony.
