Descrizione: Europe needs an alternative role-model to Julius Caesar. In this moment in time, more than anything else, the European Union urgently needs a symbol of its democratic spirit, an iconic figure that represents all the values that have defined the European Union since its inception after the Second World War: the imperative of the rule of law, the primacy of the common good, the necessity for active citizenship. There is an illustrious historical figure that shaped his philosophy and statesmanship around these values: Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC). The reappraisal of Cicero for a modern audience is indispensable to reinstate the spirit of democracy at the heart of the European Union.[Author]
