- Résumé : "Roman Life in the Days of Cicero" by Alfred John Church offers a vivid exploration of the social, political, and cultural environment of Rome during the late Republic, focusing on the life and times of the orator Cicero. The book is not a strict biography of Cicero but rather uses his life as a central thread to weave together various aspects of Roman society. Church delves into the education of Roman youth, highlighting the rigorous training in rhetoric and philosophy that young Romans, including Cicero's son, underwent. The narrative also touches on the political turbulence of the era, marked by the dictatorship of Sulla and the subsequent proscriptions that led to widespread fear and violence. Through detailed anecdotes, such as the murder of Sextus Roscius and the subsequent legal battles, Church illustrates the precariousness of life and the intricate legal and social systems of the time. The book also examines the cultural significance of Athens as a center of learning for Roman elites, emphasizing the blend of Roman and Greek influences in shaping the intellectual landscape. Church's work is a comprehensive portrayal of a pivotal period in Roman history, offering insights into the daily lives, education, and political challenges faced by its citizens.
