By drawing upon Cicero's other philosophical and rhetorical works, the author reveals the political relevance: Cicero's learned writings present criteria for the selection of suitable politicians, to whom powers of decision-making should only be given after they have proved themselves to have studied and to possess methodical abilities. Thus Cicero's work as a writer after his exile cannot sensibly be separated from his political activity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47589021221015,"sku":"9783110180961","price":17329.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783110180961.webp?v=1774968668","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/cicero-rhetor-9783110180961","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
