For what was the purpose of
Cicero's irony save that Caesar should be induced to
regard the case as presenting only old familiar
features and consequently to give it less attention?
What was his purpose in the pro Caelio1 save to
make the case seem far more trivial than had been
anticipated?
It is, however, obvious that of the rules which I
have laid down, some will be applicable to one case
and some to another.
1 pro Cael. 31.
