Philippics

/ fɪˈlɪpɪks /

plural noun

Herennius cut off his head and the hands, pursuant to the command of Antonius, with which he wrote the Philippics.

He wrote like a modern Demosthenes, with all political New York to quiver under his philippics.

Rising abruptly, therefore, he broke out at once in one of the plainest philippics of the sea.

They were political philippics, inspired chiefly by a reckless, undiscriminating spirit of attack.

It should hardly have been named one of the Philippics, which title might well have been commenced with the second.
