Description

Cicero's private correspondence with his dear friend Atticus offers an intimate glimpse into the mind and motivations of Rome's most prolific public figure. Spanning over 24 years, these letters provide a vivid picture of a momentous period in Roman history, marked by the rise of Julius Caesar and the downfall of the Republic. Through their exchange, Cicero shares news and views on matters of business and state, while also discussing his changing attitude towards Caesar. This corpus of over 400 letters provides a unique first-hand account of social and political life in Rome during this pivotal time period. Authored by D. R. Shackleton Bailey, this revised edition of the Letters to Atticus is accompanied by full explanatory notes, making it an authoritative resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
