The timeless and memorable Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero are produced anew in this superb edition featuring the acclaimed translation from E. S. Shuckburgh.Providing fascinating insight into the character of the author, and of civic life in Ancient Rome, these authentic correspondences see Cicero discuss a range of matters ranging from personal life to his life in the Roman court and as a holder of public office. Relied upon by historians and chroniclers as some of the most authentic and authoritative sources for the period surrounding the Fall of the Roman Empire, these letters provide important 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 who held contacts across the strata of Roman civic society. 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.
