I've actually read very little of Ancient Roman literary works. Mostly Aeneid, which my Latin class translated their graduating year. I do however have a collection of letters from Quintus T. Cicero to his brother Marcus, with side-to-side Latin to English translations. The letters detail Quintus' advice on winning an election in the Ancient Roman state. It's a good read actually and most of his advice rings true today.

If you're interested in the life of Marcus Cicero and the later years of the Roman Republic in general, you could read his speeches and his letters to Atticus, of course, or his 'published' books (like [i]De Republica[/i]), but I recommend a novel called [i]Imperium[/i] and its sequels by George Harris for a more relaxed and entertaining ride. It's fantastic historical fiction that takes relatively little artistic liberty and adheres strictly to everything we know to be true about his life, only filling in the gaps with (believable) fiction where necessary.

Oh, I know, I know. I don't say anything I don't know the meaning of. Used to read up on Pompeii grafitti translations, they were pretty fun. Those and pedicabo kind of give you an insight into Roman society.

Ah, righto, sorry. As you were.
