Cicero refused to die : Ciceronian influence through the centuries

Van Deusen, Nancy 2013 Presenting the past, 1875-2799 ( Serie ) Leiden : Brill 9789004244764 | BRILL9789004244764 Abstract

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.
