Synopsis "The Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero: To his Friends and his Brother Quintus (Adansonia Latin Classics) (Hardcover)"

The Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero are presented in this hardcover edition, in the acclaimed translation from E. S. Shuckburgh. Providing fascinating insight into the character of the author, and of civic life in Ancient Rome, these correspondences see Cicero discuss matters ranging from personal life to his life in the Roman court and as a holder of public office. Relied upon by chroniclers as some of the most authoritative sources for the period surrounding the Fall of the Roman Empire, these letters provide insights into the character and behaviour of the Roman legal system and the officials who staffed it. Cicero himself was an influential statesman, lawyer and orator with contacts across the strata of Roman civic society and elite. As such, his correspondences provide a fascinating look at the inner workings within politics and the Roman state. Himself a gifted and eloquent writer, Cicero capably brings to life the events, conversations and circumstances he writes about.
