Frank Frost Abbott, Commentary on Selected Letters of Cicero, Cicero's Family and Friends. (search)
Cicero, and others, Nep. Att. 15. made loans to individuals and towns, Nep. Att. 8; Cic. All. 1.13.1; 16.16a.4, 5. carried on the business of a publisher, Att. 2.1.2; 12.40.1; 12.45.3. and even kept trained bands of gladiators. Att. 4.4b.2; 4.8a.2. He abstained carefully from all participation in politics, and yet was on intimate terms with members of all political parties.
