Summary: "Cicero and his Friends: A Study of Roman Society in the Time of Caesar" by Gaston Boissier is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the societal dynamics and political landscape of Rome during the time of Julius Caesar, focusing on the significant figure of Cicero and his influential correspondences with prominent contemporaries. The book likely examines the intricacies of political alliances and conflicts that characterized this pivotal period in Roman history. The opening of the study emphasizes the importance of Cicero's letters as primary sources, highlighting their vivid portrayal of Rome's political climate and social interactions. Boissier argues that these letters provide a more authentic view of historical events than conventional historical narratives, allowing readers to experience Cicero's personal insights and the dramatic developments of his time.
