THE CLASSICAL FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN CICERO AND ATTICUS
THE CLASSICAL FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN CICERO AND ATTICUS

Summary/Abstract: Cicero's letters to Atticus are some of the most valuable documents that the antiquity left us, mirroring the most divers aspects of Roman life, and also the impulse of some strong emotions caused by the friendship between the two Coryphei of Antiquity. By their style and the pluralism of the topics dealt with, of the statements and doubts, the explosions of joy or the laments, the letters reveal the authenticity of the moment when they were written. This complexity caused by evoking the features of the economic, political, social, legal, moral and literary life reflects exactly the subjective vision of the two diplomat and speaker friends.
