Talk about it here.
Cicero, full name Marcus Tullius Cicero, was a 1st century BC Roman politician (AUDIO: Tartarus) who was born in 106 BC. (AUDIO: 100 BC) He served as Consul of Rome in 63 BC. In addition to politics, Cicero was known for being an orator, lawyer and a poor poet according to the Fifth Doctor He was married to Terentia, with whom he had a daughter named Tullia and a son, Marcus Minor. Like many upper class Romans, Cicero owned slaves, including a young man named Marcipor, known as "Marc."
During the aftermath of Adric's death, the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan Jovanka travelled in the Doctor's TARDIS to attend a party Cicero's estates at Cumae. During the party, Cicero, Marc, the Doctor's party and a guard named Septus were transported to a world generated by Tartarus a sentient warp ship from the planet Zorth in the Fraxis Galaxy, in the constellation of Zandrobar. Tartarus sought new minds for the Hive Leadership of Zorth and, after dismissing the Doctor for allowing Adric to die and Cicero for executing men without trial, selected Marc. When Tartarus attempted to take Marc against his will, Cicero used his oration skills to convince the ship otherwise. After their ordeal, he decided to free Marc, who then left to travel as a companion to the Doctor after Nyssa invited him along.
At some point after this encounter, Cicero wrote the Orator, a work the Doctor was particularly enthusiastic about. Eventually, Cicero would die what the Doctor described as an unpleasant death. (AUDIO: Tartarus)
When Evelyn Smythe and the Sixth Doctor visited Rome in 100 BC, he cited Cicero as a Roman of great cultural significance, along with Caesar and Catullus and Evelyn suggested they visit Cicero to discuss politics and philosophy. The Doctor dismissed the idea because he thought they were in 101 BC, when Cicero would be only five years old. (AUDIO: 100 BC)
