On the Laws","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe statesman on statecraft.\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":54254320845144,"sku":"9780674992351","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780674992351.jpg?v=1778547642","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/on-the-republic-on-the-laws","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
