On Divination","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThree late dialogues.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCicero  (Marcus Tullius, 106–43  BC), Roman lawyer, orator, politician, and  philosopher, of whom we know  more than of any other Roman, lived  through the stirring era that saw  the rise, dictatorship, and death of  Julius Caesar in a tottering  republic. In his political speeches  especially and in his correspondence  we see the excitement, tension and  intrigue of politics and the part he  played in the turmoil of the  time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered  before the Roman people or the  Senate if they were political, before  jurors if judicial, fifty-eight  survive (a few of them incompletely). In  the fourteenth century  Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered  manuscripts containing  more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were  written by Cicero and  nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a  revelation of the man all  the more striking because most were not  written for publication. Six  rhetorical works survive and another in  fragments. Philosophical works  include seven extant major compositions  and a number of others; and  some lost. There is also poetry, some  original, some as translations  from the Greek.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54241588969816,"sku":"9780674991705","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780674991705_af8b5fcb-12e6-4d25-8854-c510192d268a.jpg?v=1780398951","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/on-old-age-on-friendship-on-divination","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
