The greatest orator in Roman history Marcus Tullius Cicero remained one of the republic’s chief supporters throughout his life guided by profound political beliefs that illuminated his correspondence with both close friends and powerful aristocrats. A chronicle of a crumbling civilization during the era when the republic disintegrated and was replaced by despotism his Letters portray a world dominated by characters who have since acquired almost mythic status - including Pompey Caesar Brutus Cassius and Mark Antony. Whether describing the vagaries of war the collapse of Roman society his beloved republic or his own personal domestic dramas all compellingly reflect the complex personality of an honourable and selfless man whose refusal to compromise ultimately cost him his life.
