The resurgence of interest in Cicero's political philosophy in the
last twenty years demands a re-evaluation of Cicero's ideal
statesman and its relationship not only to Cicero's political
theory but also to his practical politics. Jonathan Zarecki
proposes three original arguments: firstly, that by the publication
of his De Republica in 51 BC Cicero accepted that some sort of
return to monarchy was inevitable. Secondly, that Cicero created
his model of the ideal statesman as part of an attempt to reconcile
the mixed constitution of Rome's past with his belief in the
inevitable return of sole-person rule. Thirdly, that the ideal
statesman was the primary construct against which Cicero viewed the
political and military activities of Pompey, Caesar and Antony, and
himself.
