Cicero’s letters are among the most vivid documents to survive from the ancient world. Written to friends, family, and political allies across the turbulent final decades of the Roman Republic, they reveal the orator and statesman in unguarded moments — anxious, witty, self-doubting, and brilliantly observant of the world collapsing around him. Volume 1 of this chronological collection covers the early portion of his extant correspondence.
This free EPUB edition brings Cicero’s letters to modern e-readers in a clean, readable format. They are indispensable primary sources for the late Republic and an unsurpassed window into the daily life, politics, and private thought of a great Roman mind.
