About this title

Synopsis

The relevance of Cicero's On Old Age transcends time and culture as it examines with superlative clarity the challenging problem of aging. Cicero brilliantly addresses the aspects of old age and its sociological problems in a manner that is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago. With Latin text, notes, and vocabulary, this is a valuable text that intermediate students will find instructive and insightful.
