| Summary | "Cicero: Letters to Atticus, Vol. 1 of 3" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is a historical account composed during the late Roman Republic around the 1st century BC. This work is a collection of personal correspondences that provide insight into Cicero's thoughts, political maneuvers, and social connections with his close friend Atticus. The letters chronicle significant events during a tumultuous period in Roman history, reflecting Cicero's candidacy for office and the political landscape of his time. The opening of this volume presents Cicero addressing Atticus regarding his political campaign, expressing his thoughts on competitors and the election process. He discusses the candidacy of P. Galba, noting that Galba's aggressive canvassing may inadvertently benefit his own campaign. Cicero also hints at the various individuals he expects to compete alongside him, conveys ambitions tied to the election process, and shares personal matters, including news about family and mutual acquaintances. This early correspondence sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Roman politics, friendships, and the societal dynamics that influenced Cicero's life and career.
