Laelius eli Ystävyydestä by Marcus Tullius Cicero
"Laelius eli Ystävyydestä" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is a philosophical dialogue written in 44 BCE. Set shortly after the death of Scipio Aemilianus, the work explores the nature of true friendship through a conversation between Laelius and his sons-in-law. Cicero examines what defines genuine friendship, the duties friends owe each other, and why virtue forms the foundation of lasting bonds. Drawing on Greek philosophical traditions, this dialogue became one of ancient Rome's
most beloved works on human connection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
