On the Good Life

by Cicero

Amazon
4.5(203)

This Cicero collection treats friendship, old age, duty and moral philosophy as practical problems for Roman public men. Written in the late Republic, the essays adapt Greek ethical thought to Roman ideas of service, honour, retirement and responsibility in a political world close to collapse.
