In Classical Latin, the Latin of the very Cicero of whom we speak, the letter C was always hard. As the ages wore on, the sound of the C before front vowels (i and e) was pulled forward from the back articulation to one further forward in the mouth. This expressed itself as a ch sound in Italian, a ts sound in German and further degenerated to an s sound in French.
