Cicero and his friends. Buasier G.

The name of Gaston Buasier (1823-1908), an outstanding French historian, is well known to many lovers of ancient history. The author of fundamental works on the history of ancient Roman society, pagan religion and Christianity, Buasier today can rightfully be called one of the brightest and most deep researchers. The book proposed to the reader is dedicated to an outstanding statesman, speaker and writer of Ancient Rome, a person who left a deep mark not only in Roman, but also in a pan -European culture, Mark Tullia Cicero. In his work, Buasier describes, with numerous living details, one of the most dramatic periods of Roman history is the sunset of the republic. The author draws portraits of representatives of the Higher Roman Society from two opposing political camps - republican and Caesarian: Titus Pomponia Attica, Mark Chestyus Ruf, Mark Juni Bruta, Julia Caesar, Guy Octavia - future emperor Octavian Augustus.
