Produktbeschreibung
This volume contains the collected letters of Marcus Cornelius Fronto and Marcus Aurelius, offering a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and political life of the Roman Empire in the 2nd century CE. Included are letters from Lucius Verus, Antoninus Pius, and fragments of Appian's correspondence. The text is meticulously compiled and edited by G. N. Du Rieu, building upon the work of Angelo Mai and incorporating collations from the Ambrosian and Vatican codices. These letters provide invaluable insights into the personal relationships, philosophical inclinations, and administrative concerns of key figures during the reigns of the Antonine emperors. Of particular interest are the exchanges between Fronto, a renowned rhetorician, and his pupil Marcus Aurelius, later emperor, which reveal the development of Aurelius' Stoic philosophy and his approach to governance.
