    Summary

    "They used to need each other, but not anymore. Cicero is rich, he doesn’t need her money. And his name is more famous than hers could ever be. And Terentia has no use for a husband who fought on the wrong side of the Civil War. A husband who despises Caesar in Caesar’s Rome."

    Brundisium, 47 BC. As he waits for Caesar to pardon him, Cicero makes up his mind to divorce Terentia after more than thirty years of marriage.

    Summary

    [Of possessions and jealousy and affection]

    Not only do Cicero's letters reveal more about him than intended, but so does his behaviour. At least when it's about Tiro; at least when you can look at it from the outside.

    Hear the thoughts of different members and friends of the family about the relationship (servitude? friendship?? romance???) between our esteemed orator and his faithful amanuensis across the decades, be it in Cicero's golden days or in his darkest hours (at least some of them)!

    And in the end, even Cicero cannot escape some self-reflective pondering, about what ties he has to Tiro and why he is so hesitant to serve them, in terms of slavery and manumission

    Summary

    When Cicero entered the senate on the 5th December of 63 BC and started lecturing Catilina with one which would have become the greatest oration of all times, many emotions spilled from his words: spite, indignation, rage, hate, abhorrence.
    Words flowed like the malicious torrent of crime and wrongdoings Catilina had committed. But had they not know each other before? Were these feelings authentic or were they born out of sake for the state? The hatred that ran so deep in his veins was pure or conflicted and mingled with other obscure feelings, feelings to never being discovered?
    When they first met each other the two were in their twenties, young and ambitious. What had happened?

    Summary

    It is the end of the Catilinarian Conspiracy. The conspirators have been executed, Cicero is the savior of Rome, Catilina has no other choice but to fight or die. In the midst of it all, though, Cicero cannot help but wonder why everything went so wrong.
