Description: The paper treats of Letters 16 and 19 of the fifteenth book of Cicero’s Ad familiares and the philosophical problems that Cicero discusses both jokingly and polemically with his correspondent, Cassius Longinus, the future Caesar’s killer, recently turned Epicurean. It is possible that these disputes hide a political significance in relation to some difficult choices made by the parties struggling during the years of Caesar’s autocracy: thus, it is philosophy that provides them with the language appropriate for expressing their way of thinking and making choices in politics [Author]
