Welcome
Ciceros Tenent (CT) welcomes you to a place to discuss and discover historical events and their relation to the present day. Contrarian views and re-evaluation of current events from a new perspective are essential to avoiding repetition of past mistakes, and to find meaning in present day events. Our philosophy is best described as a historical allegory not of Cicero, but of Cicero's tenants whom the historical figure was a landlord. The contrast between the historical figure gloried, and his mistreated tenant shows how the grey areas dominante history and the present day.
