Publisher's Synopsis
Cicero's letters are unique, both as evidence for a most important period of ancient history, the end of the Roman Republic, and as a portrayal of the world of Cicero and his numerous correspondents; they make Cicero himself the most intimately known person in the whole classical world. The 147 letters dealt with here cover the years 62 to 43 BC. The book provides a useful introduction and extensive notes on L.P. Wilkinson's selected translation ofthe letters (also published by Bristol Classical Press).
