Cicero: Letters to Atticus: Volume 4, Books 7.10-10

Informationen zum Autor Marcus Tullius Cicero, born in 106 BC, became one of Rome's most influential statesmen and orators. His rise to power was marked by his consulship in 63 BC, where he famously thwarted the Catiline Conspiracy, protecting the Roman Republic. Known for his eloquence, Cicero's defense of republican ideals defined his political career.Cicero's opposition to Julius Caesar and later Mark Antony led to his eventual downfall. His outspoken criticism of Antony resulted in his assassination in 43 BC during the Second Triumvirate. Despite his tragic end, Cicero's impact on Roman politics and philosophy endured.As a philosopher, Cicero translated Greek thought into Latin, making it accessible to Roman audiences. His works on ethics, governance, and friendship laid the groundwork for Western philosophical traditions, influencing thinkers for centuries. Cicero's writings remain a cornerstone of classical literature, with lasting relevance in discussions of rhetoric, morality, and politics.
