Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106–43 BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which 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, 58 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.

评分纵观古罗马的历史其实是从一个方圆二十英里的小国不断对外扩张、以战争手段开疆拓土的过程。有趣的是它在不同时期曾出现过两种截然不同的政体。一是共和国政体,它实际上包含了君主制、民主制和贵族制的思想。这时候的罗马共和国政权实体有两个组成部分:最重要的部分是元老院...
评分当时是抱着重看一遍的心态从朋友那借来这本书的,翻开后才发现这和大一时看过的那本马可·奥勒留的书不是同一本书,却都叫做《沉思录》,当时特别无语。不过尽管有忽悠读者之嫌,但这本书还是很值得一看的,这是自己读过的描写最纯粹的友谊的文字,文中举的伟人之间交往的例子...
