The Letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero are presented in this edition,
in the acclaimed translation from E. S. Shuckburgh. Providing
fascinating insight into the character of the author, and of civic
life in Ancient Rome, these correspondences see Cicero discuss
matters ranging from personal life to his life in the Roman court
and as a holder of public office. Relied upon by chroniclers as
some of the most authoritative sources for the period surrounding
the Fall of the Roman Empire, these letters provide insights into
the character and behaviour of the Roman legal system and the
officials who staffed it. Cicero himself was an influential
statesman, lawyer and orator with contacts across the strata of
Roman civic society and elite. As such, his correspondences provide
a fascinating look at the inner workings within politics and the
Roman state. Himself a gifted and eloquent writer, Cicero capably
brings to life the events, conversations and circumstances he
writes about.
