Course Description: Cicero’s letters offer a fascinating first-hand account of the final decades of the Roman Republic. This course will read from the letters written during Cicero’s governorship of Cilicia (52 – 51 BCE) on the Republic’s turbulent eastern frontier. We will see Cicero take the field with his legions against the Parthian Empire, lay siege to bandit fortresses in the mountains, combat Roman corruption, and come home hailed as imperator.
