Description: Christelle Veillard provides a close reading of De officiis, highlighting Cicero’s creative appropriation of Stoic views on duty, propriety, and moral character. The result is a distinctively Ciceronian conception of the vir bonus, an ethical ideal rooted in justice and human community, and whose legacy is evident in paradigms of the ‘gentleman’ in later centuries [Hahmann & Vazquez 2025, 6].
