About this book
Cicero and His Friends, a study of Roman society in the time of Caesar, is by Gaston Boissier of the French Academy. The third edition is translated, with an index and table of contents, by Adnah David Jones. The contents list names, among others, an introduction on Cicero's letters, which mentions the importance of private correspondence in ancient times, and a section on Cicero in public and private life.
The text says it is certain that, at the moment when the veterans of Alesia and Gergovia were assembling at Ravenna, and approaching the Rubicon, Pompey imprudently exhibited a great disdain for the general and for his troops. The text mentions a letter that Pompey wrote to the consuls, and to Domitius, who attempted at least to hold out in Corfinium. The text says the inhabitants of Ancyra erected a temple to Augustus, who had been their benefactor.
