Descrizione: The letters from Cicero’s exile indicate that Atticus did not abandon his friend; on the contrary, he aided the efforts for his restoration to Rome, listened to his lamentations over his misfortune, and offered him comfort despite his constant negativity.2 Nevertheless, problems arose between them when Atticus did not agree to provide the kind of help that Cicero was requesting. As the correspondence reveals, Cicero could not accept Atticus’ hesitation or unwillingness to assist him in every way he could. The discussion that follows investigates Cicero’s reaction to Atticus’ stance towards him and his efforts to coerce Atticus by appealing to his emotions. [Author]
