Description: The article examines Cicero’s correspondence in the years 46-45 BC and contemporary philosophical treatises, focusing on the letters dedicated to Tullia’s death. The theme of inconsolable grief allows Cicero to think about and illustrate his own position in the Roman state: the exhibition of this emotional wound signifies a dignity that has long been jeopardized. But these texts are also, more than has been admitted until now, reflections of a political nature, taking as their starting point an examination of the affects of the community and the politicians who embody it. Cicero’s difficulty in completing the process of his singular mourning becomes an illustration of the fact that, on a collective scale, the city is sick with its passions [Author].
