'The republic of Cicero' is a Roman political dialogue written by Cicero, and only partially survives today. In the form of a Socratic dialogue, Scipio Aemilianus plays the wise old man and explores Roman constitutional theory, different types of constitutions, and the roles of citizens in government. Cicero also examines the type of government established in Rome since the kings, which was challenged by Julius Caesar. The work is famous for the Dream of Scipio, a fictional dream vision from the sixth book. A must-read for those interested in ancient Roman politics and constitutional theory.
