Reviews

'Those with an interest in any aspect of Cicero's life and work, from historians studying his letters, philosophers studying his treatises, or classicists studying his style, would benefit from this volume. By understanding how his philosophy is integrated into the various aspects of his work and life, our picture of both Cicero and his philosophy improves, and we gain a greater appreciation for and understanding of his influence.' Anthony Hejduk, Sehepunkte
