The Somnium Scipionis of Cicero, translated by William Danby, presents a cornerstone of classical Roman thought. This influential text, extracted from Cicero's larger work, De re publica, explores themes of virtue, duty, and the afterlife through the dream of Scipio Aemilianus. Scipio envisions the universe and receives wisdom from his adoptive grandfather, Scipio Africanus, urging him to serve the state and pursue moral excellence.
This edition offers readers access to Cicero's profound meditations on the cosmos and the role of humanity within it. The Somnium Scipionis has resonated through centuries, influencing philosophical and political discourse. Danby's translation makes this important work accessible to a new generation, preserving its enduring relevance and offering insights into the values of the Roman Republic.
