Demosthenes
Cicero made strong speeches because he had to in order to win. In the ancient world the orator, weather he were speaking politically or in a civil case, came out verbally swinging. There were no holds barred as far as speeches were concerned. Today's political or courtroom speeches are tame and bland compared to the ancients' oratory. There were no libel laws in those days, so "anything goes" was the motto.
Cicero was one of ancient Rome's greatest orators and he studied the art of public speaking and rhetoric.
Your question is hard to answer because to judge an orator one would have to hear and see him and the Romans never made any DVDs of their speeches. The most famous one who comes to mind is Cicero, but in his own time he had big competition from Hortensius. Cato the Elder, Julius Caesar and Marc Antony could also be rated as great. An orator did not just stand up and deliver a speech. He had gestures and voice inflections---showmanship was part of the art of persuasion.
He was a great orator.
