Need historical information
I want to add a dialog sequence to my AAR and I would like to make it as historically accurate as possible so I need to know how it should sound, how one person would address a senator, just about everything that can make it realistic.
I have searched on wikipedia but I haven't found much. Does anyone know someplace on the internet where I could find such information (encyclopedic style articles are the most useful but ancient writings that can be fund at wikisource are also useful).

Re: Need historical information
Read some of Cicero's speeches:

Some in the courts and some to the senate. Of course you can't fully comprehend nature of the speech with meager English translations, but I think for your purposes it will do.
The line "Conscript Fathers" is a famous one when addressing the senate formally which has been used liberally in many novels.
Good luck, I'll be sure to check out your AAR.

Re: Need historical information
It could be useful later on but right now I am intersted in conversation not speeches.
