Synopsis

De Republica, written by Marcus Tullius Cicero, is a cornerstone of Western political thought. Composed in Latin, this timeless dialogue explores the ideal constitution and the principles of just governance, as Cicero draws upon Roman history and philosophy to articulate his vision of the perfect state. Through the voices of Scipio Aemilianus and other prominent figures, the work examines the nature of justice, the roles of different classes, and the importance of virtue in public life. Though incomplete, the surviving fragments of "De Republica" offer invaluable insights into Cicero’s political ideals and the intellectual climate of the late Roman Republic. This edition presents the original Latin text, allowing readers to engage directly with Cicero's profound reflections on law, liberty, and the common good.
