Cicero Refused to Die (Presenting the Past) Nancy Van Deusen

Cicero, it would seem, has refused to die, despite a tragic and ignominious assassination in 43 B. C., and the fact that today Latin is decreasing as a language that is commonly taught. This book offers a thorough study of why Cicero and his works have continued, through the centuries, to have an enormous influence, for example, on education, literature, legal training-an influence that brings the past into the present.
