About this book
Creators: Marcus Tullius Cicero (107 BCE-44 BCE) and Evelyn S. Shuckburgh (1843-1906) [Translator] "Treatises on Friendship and Old Age" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is a philosophical dialogue written in 44 BC. Set after the death of Scipio Africanus in 129 BC, the work explores the nature of true friendship through a conversation between Laelius and his two sons-in-law. Laelius examines what constitutes genuine friendship, arguing it can only exist between virtuous individuals. Through dialogue, Cicero presents timeless reflections on loyalty, honor, and the bonds that connect good people across the ages. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
