After his return from exile in 57 BCE, Cicero's legal work largely consisted of defending allies of the ruling triumvirs and his own personal friends and allies; although he had opposed the triumvirate before his exile, he reversed his stance after Pompey and Caesar reconciled at the Luca Conference in 56. In that year, he defended his former pupil Marcus Caelius Rufus against a charge of murder. He subsequently defended, under the influence of the triumvirs, his former enemies Publius Vatinius (in August 54 BCE) and Marcus Aemilius Scaurus (between July and September), which weakened his prestige and sparked attacks on his integrity. Luca Grillo has suggested these cases as the source of the poet Catullus's double-edged comment that Cicero was "the best defender of anybody".
Plancius was subsequently elected as a plebeian tribune in 56 BCE. He then successfully ran for curule aedile in 55 BCE, with Crassus's support, in an election that Lily Ross Taylor has described as "a travesty of Roman free institutions". The election results were declared void, following corruption and violence during the campaign, and the election repeated in 54: Plancius was again elected, alongside Aulus Plautius. His election as aedile made Plancius the first in his family to enter the senate. It is debated whether Plancius served as aedile in 55, or was due to begin his year of office when prosecuted in 54.
Marcus Iuventius Laterensis was from an ancient noble family of Rome. He had served as a quaestor and proquaestor in Cyrene, where Michael Alexander judges that he was "more than usually upright" in his dealings. Christopher Craig has written that Laterensis's more elevated social background would have favoured his case, as ambitus trials customarily involved comparing the social standing (dignitas) of the respective parties.
During Cicero's exile, Laterensis had protected his relatives who remained in Italy, and made petitions for Cicero to be recalled. Like Cicero, Laterensis had been an early opponent of the triumvirs – he had withdrawn his candidacy for tribune in 59 BCE, because those elected were obliged to swear to uphold the laws of Caesar. However, unlike Cicero, Laterensis had maintained this opposition: he used Cicero's change of sides to attack the latter's integrity during Plancius's case.
Laterensis made the prosecution a few weeks after the election of 54 BCE: the trial was held around the time of the ludi Romani, which took place in late August or early September. The prosecution was made under the lex Licinia de sodaliciis, a law put forward by Crassus in 55. As neither the prosecution speech against Plancius nor the text of the relevant law survive, the precise accusations made against Plancius are uncertain: Laterensis may have accused Plancius of forming an illicit coalition to secure his election, of giving or receiving bribes, or of several of these offences. The Pro Plancio is itself the main source of evidence for the terms of the lex Licinia de sodaliciis.
Aspects of the prosecution's speeches can be reconstructed through Cicero's responses to them in the Pro Plancio. He rebuts allegations made by Laterensis that Plancius had taken a male companion with him to Macedonia "in order to satisfy his lust", and that he had raped a female dancer. It can be inferred from Cicero's speech that Laterensis accused him of dishonesty, and of taking Plancius's case for self-interested reasons rather than out of genuine conviction. Cicero directly responds to this charge at length, and throughout the speech uses language intended to highlight his own straightforwardness and honesty, frequently contrasting the supposed urbanity and polish of the prosecutors (Laterensis was a native of the distinguished city of Tusculum), with the honest simplicity and rural unsophistication of Plancius's native Atina. Cicero also rebukes Laterensis for accusing him of faking tears to generate sympathy for Plancius. Kathryn Tempest has written that Laterensis and Cassius made a key strategy out of portraying Cicero as mendacious, and arousing the jury's anger against him; Laterensis seems to have portrayed himself, in contrast, as an honest and credible speaker able to reveal Cicero's tricks to the jury.
Craig has described Cicero's approach as a "strategy of embarrassment", similar to that which he employed in the Pro Murena of 63 BCE. Cicero claims to be embarrassed at having to oppose Laterensis, given the latter's previous friendship and support towards him. As such, he refuses to reciprocate the attacks on his integrity that Laterensis had made in his own speech. Throughout the speech, Cicero emphasises the bonds of friendship and obligation (amicitia) between himself and the prosecutor, Laterensis. Cicero had previously used this tactic extensively in three speeches, and would do so again in the Pro Ligario of 46 BCE, but it is not attested elsewhere in Roman oratory or in Greek rhetorical manuals. Craig suggests that it was an invention of Roman orators, perhaps of Cicero himself. Craig has called Cicero's response to Laterensis's attacks on his character "both ingenious and unique".
It is unknown for certain whether Plancius was acquitted or convicted, though it is often stated that Cicero's defence was successful. Cicero wrote two letters to Plancius in 46 BCE, when the latter was living on the Greek island of Corcyra; this would be consistent with a guilty verdict and the consequent punishment of exile, but Plancius may equally have been exiled for his support of Pompey by Julius Caesar after the latter's military defeat of Pompey. Cicero wrote to his brother, Quintus, on 28 September 54 BCE that he was sending him a copy of the Pro Plancio, along with the Pro Scauro, at Quintus's request. In December of the same year, Cicero drew on the arguments he had made in the Pro Plancio in a letter to Publius Cornelius Lentulus Spinther, defending his collaboration with the triumvirs.

Cicero alludes to remarks made by Hortensius on the previous day in section 37 of the speech: this is generally taken as evidence that Hortensius represented Plancius alongside him, though is not conclusive proof that he was directly involved in the case.[8]

Part of the reason for this suggestion is that Cicero relates criticisms made by Laterensis of earlier remarks that he had made, though the defence would normally speak only once in a trial under the lex Licinia de sodaliciis. Lintott suggests that the jury may initially have been unable to reach a verdict, requiring a second hearing of evidence (ampliatio).[54] /w/index.php?title=Ampliatio&action=edit&redlink=1

Auden wrote in 1897 that Plancius was acquitted, but that "there is a good deal of difference of opinion" about the matter.[77] The argument for acquittal was put forward by Wilhelm Drumann in a work of 1834–1844, though the evidence for it was contested.[78]
Riggsby and Badian also state that Plancius was acquitted.[79]
