Excerpt from Letters of Cicero, Vol. 2 of 4: Whole the Whole Extant Correspondence in Chronological Order The letters in this volume (April, B.C. 51-June, B.C. 49) find Cicero on the point of starting to his province of Cilicia, in which he was to succeed Appius Claudius Puleher, the elder brother of his old enemy Publius Clodius. The circumstances in which he had been, against his will, constrained to undertake this duty, have been noticed in the introduction to the first volume. From the very first he disliked the idea of it, and especially shrank from a prolonged absence from Rome. The district known as Cilicia is a narrow country between Mount Taurus and the sea, falling naturally into two divisions, near the city of Soli - on the west Cilicia Aspera, on the east Cilicia Campestris, separated from the province of Syria by Mount Amanus. The Romans had first been brought into connexion with Cilicia Aspera in their efforts to put down the piracy in the Eastern Mediterranean in the year B.C. 103. For some years it was a provincia in the sense of a military command, rather than an organized province. But this command was held by a number of able men who had gradually reduced it to the regular form of a Roman province, adding to it various neighbouring districts. Its extent and organized administration, as found by Cicero, dated from the Asian settlement of Pompey, after the Mithridatic war in B.C. 64. It now consisted of five parts, Cilicia, Aspera and Campestris, Pisidia, Isauria, Lycaonia. But to these had been added, temporarily, three "dioceses" in Phrygia - Laodicea, Apamea, and Synnada - and the island of Cyprus, after its reduction by Cato in B.C. 58. The province thus contained a population some of whom, not long before, had been addicted to piracy and brigandage.

Excerpt from The Letters of Cicero, Vol. 1 of 4: The Whole Extant Correspondence, in Chronological Order, Translated Into English I ought to mention that I have adopted the English mode Of dating, writing, for instance, July and August, though Cicero repudiated the former and, of course, never heard Of the latter. I have also refrained generally from attempting to represent his Greek by French, partly because I fear I should have done it ill, and partly because it is not in him as in an English writer who lards his sentences with French. It is almost confined to the letters to Atticus, to whom Greek was a second mother-tongue, and Often, I think, is a quota tion from him. It does not really represent Cicero's ordinary style.

Excerpt from Letters To Atticus, Vol. 2 of 3 Another new law of Pompey's insisted on the personal attendance of candidates for office, from Which Caesar had previously obtained special exemp tion. On the remonstrance of Caesar's friends Pompey had inserted a clause allowing such Special ex emptions to stand: but this clause was never properly passed. This again was designed to ensure Caesar's presence in Rome, with a View to his prosecution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
