Cicero's De re publica contains the fullest ancient account of the
theory of the mixed constitution and the oldest extant narrative of
early Roman history; it concludes with the Dream of Scipio, one of
the most influential ancient visions of the afterlife. The argument
of the dialogue concerns the relationship between political theory
and practice, and between social institutions and the individual
citizen. This edition of most of the surviving portions of De re
publica is the most detailed commentary ever to appear in English.
It explains Cicero's philosophical argument and its relationship to
his account of early Rome, and thoroughly elucidates the language
and style of the treatise. The introduction offers a new and
provocative interpretation of Cicero's dialogue as a work both of
literature and of political philosophy.
