The Vision of Scipio is a philosophical work written by the Roman statesman and philosopher Cicero, also known as Marcus Tullius Cicero. The book is a dialogue between Scipio Africanus, a Roman general and politician, and his grandfather, Scipio Aemilianus, who was also a prominent figure in Roman politics.The dialogue takes place in a dream, where Scipio Africanus is visited by his grandfather, who reveals to him the secrets of the universe and the afterlife. The book explores themes such as the nature of the universe, the meaning of life, and the concept of the soul.Throughout the dialogue, Scipio Africanus learns about the different spheres of the universe, the hierarchy of beings, and the role of the gods in the cosmos. He also learns about the immortality of the soul and the importance of living a virtuous life.The Vision of Scipio is considered one of Cicero's most important works and is often studied for its insights into ancient Roman philosophy and religion. It provides a glimpse into the beliefs and values of the ancient Romans and their understanding of the world around them.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Collectanea Hermetica, by Marcus Tullius Cicero.
