| Summary |
"Cicero is often perceived as someone who lived intensely in the present moment, as he did during Catilinarian conspiracy, for example, or the outbreak of the civil war. He is also said to have had a knack for nostalgia. While in exile and during the civil war, he spent a great deal of time deploring his former glory. He is less known for his contemplation on Rome's future"-- Provided by publisher |
