Download Legends of the Ancient World: The Life and Legacy of Cicero AudioBook Free

"Genius is fostered by energy." (Cicero) Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) was one of the very most famous Romans in his day, and posterity has been even kinder to him. Cicero was a star in his own time for his oratory ability, which he used to persuade fellow senators and denounce foes like Catiline and Draw Antony, but he was also one of Rome's most prodigious freelance writers and politics philosophers. Alongside Pericles, Cicero was one of antiquity's greatest politicians, and he has remained one of the very most influential statesmen in history, relied after by the Romans of his day, politics philosophers like John Locke, Enlightenment thinkers like Rousseau, and America's founding fathers. Thomas Jefferson acknowledged Cicero as an creativity for the Declaration of Self-reliance, and John Adams asserted, "As all the age range of the world have never produced a greater statesman and philosopher united than Cicero, his specialist should have great weight." While De re publica (The Republic) is his most well-known work, Cicero's characters were also maintained. Cicero's characters include casual correspondences to friends, as well as long-winding thoughts about politics topics that can cross as their own treatises. Nothing escaped Cicero's attention, indicating the magnitude to which Cicero placed up with situations and exactly how frequently he put his thoughts down in writing. The period included in the characters of Cicero is one of the most important periods not only for Rome, but for the history of the world, and it was included in one of the very most knowledgeable authorities at that time.
