Some Bibliography

The Cicero Homepage

There is an online version of Cicero's oration De imperio Cn. Pompei (aka Pro lege Manilia) that I have marked up with boldface font to indicate important words or concepts that Cicero emphasizes, along with notations of the sections of the speech and development of the argument, and some footnotes.
