    A philippic is a powerful and scathing speech directed at denouncing a political figure. This term originates from Demosthenes fierce attacks on Philip II of Macedon in the 4th century BCE. Cicero, inspired by Demosthenes, delivered his own series of orations against Mark Antony in 44 and 43 BC, aptly named the Philippics—also referred to as the Antonian Orations by Aulus Gellius. Ironically, these speeches were named after a series of warnings that failed to alert the Greeks about Philip, whose son, Alexander the Great, became one of historys most formidable conquerors. After Julius Caesars assassination, Ciceros obsession with undermining Antony blinded him to the looming threat of Octavian. In a remarkable burst of energy, the over-60 ex-consul produced 14 Philippics in just two years. Tragically, his relentless focus on Antony led to his downfall; in 43 BC, he was proscribed and executed, with his head and hands displayed in the forum as a grim warning to those who dared oppose the new Triumvirate of Octavian, Mark Antony, and Lepidus.
