Description

Book Synopsis
Cicero's essay On Friendship is of interest as much for the light it sheds on Roman society as for its embodiment of ancient philosophical views on the subjects of friendship. The Dream of Scipio, in which Cicero describes his vision of the cosmos, is an excerpt from his De Republica. Latin text with facing translation, introduction and commentary.
