Summary "Cicero: Letters to Atticus, Vol. 2 of 3" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is a historical collection written in the late Roman Republic era. This volume captures Cicero's correspondence with Atticus during a tumultuous period, specifically concerning the fall of the Roman Republic amid the rising conflict between Pompey and Caesar. The letters reflect Cicero's political dilemmas and personal struggles as he navigates intense political rivalries and the impending civil war. The opening of the letters introduces Cicero as he shares updates on his travels and his concerns regarding Atticus's health. He expresses his anxiety over the political situation in Rome as Caesar and Pompey vie for power. Cicero discusses the precariousness of his own position, caught between loyalties and the fear of the repercussions of their decisions. This era's political tensions set a backdrop for Cicero's reflections, showcasing his intellect, alliances, and vulnerabilities, framing the correspondence as both personal and profoundly political as he contemplates the future of the Republic.
