Just before the end of the Roman Republic, Cicero tried to defend the republican government that Rome had had for almost 500 years. Cicero was unsuccessful because he put too much trust in Octavian to help him preserve the republic when Octavian was the follower and heir of Caesar. Cicero made this error because he was too conceited, because he was unwilling to engage personally in the military conflict, and because he was too willing to trust Octavian. The result was that Octavian overthrew the republic and proscribed and executed many of his enemies including Cicero. The reasons for Cicero's error can be understood from Cicero's Catilinarian Orations. In the Catilinarian Orations, Cicero shows immense vanity, ascribing to himself alone the salvation of the Roman Republic. He also only uses oratory in dealing with his enemy Catiline, rather than force. Most Ancient authors who wrote about Cicero noted that he was disinclined to engage in military service and hated violence. Also, in his Philippics condemning Marc Antony, Cicero showed that the was reluctant to oppose Antony at first but later was compelled to condemn him because Antony threatened him. Cicero also showed his worst mistake in asking the Senate to make Octavian, the heir of the dictator Caesar, propraetor and give him the military command. The result of Cicero's policy of appeasing Octavian and avoiding personal involvement in the military struggle over the republic led to the end of Cicero's live and the republic.
