Summary: "This new anthology is designed to meet the needs of Latin students today, acknowledging constraints on their study-time and adopting the successful approach of the authors' Ecce Romani series. Extracts are drawn from Cicero's speeches, letters and philosophical writings, illustrating his mastery of styles and providing an interesting contemporary view of a significant phase of Roman history. Stylistic features are highlighted, showing how Cicero's thinking on moral and social issues remains relevant today. Generous assistance is given with vocabulary and explanatory notes. The meaning of difficult sentences and phrases is explained by literal translation rather than complex grammatical explanation, and an 'overview' technique helps students to unravel complex sentences."-- Publisher's description.
