This thought-provoking essay not only reflects his insights into the mindset of ancient Roman society but also highlights ideas that are still relevant Roman society but also highlights ideas that are still relevant more than 2000 years later. Included as well is Cicero’s ‘On Friendship’. Published in the same year, it is a stimulating treatise on finding friends and the virtues of friendship. These are timeless works brimming with wisdom which have survived though millennia and come directly from the renowned philosopher himself.
