The republic of Cicero by Marcus Tullius Cicero
"The republic of Cicero" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is a philosophical dialogue written between 54 and 51 BC. Modeled after Plato's Republic, it examines Roman constitutional theory through conversations led by the wise statesman Scipio Aemilianus. The work explores different types of government, the role of justice in politics, and the qualities of ideal citizens. Though much of the text is lost, its surviving portions reveal Cicero's vision of Roman politics and
conclude with the famous Dream of Scipio. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
