Summary/Abstract: Pro Caecina is a speech delivered by M. T. Cicero on behalf of A. Caecina in a civil case concerning the ownership of a farm near Tarquinii. Caecina had inherited this farm from his wife Caesennia, but her former agent, Sextius Aebutius, attempted to claim ownership. This speech was made (usually dated to 69 BC) at the end of a series of actions between Caecina and Aebutius concerning the farm. Cicero explains the history of the situation in the opening of his address in order to demonstrate the reasonableness of Caecina's actions.
