Cicero was a prominent Roman statesman, philosopher, orator, lawyer, and political theorist who lived during the late Republic period of Ancient Rome. Born Marcus Tullius Cicero on January 3rd, 106 BC, he was a key figure in the First Triumvirate alongside Pompey the Great and Julius Caesar. Known for his exceptional oratory skills and extensive written works, Cicero's influence on Latin literature is profound. He played significant roles in various political events, including the Catiline Conspiracy and the Battle of Pharsalus, until his tragic execution by Mark Antony's forces in 43 BC. Despite his unfortunate end, Cicero's intellectual legacy continues to inspire generations, with his works still being studied today.
"Cicero's popularity as a name peaked around the early 20th century with over 40 births annually between 1915 and 1922. Since then, its usage has significantly declined; only once (in 2023) have there been more than 6 births in a year."
