His fortunes however followed those of Rome and he found himself driven into exile in 58 BC only to return a year later to a city paralyzed by the domination of Pompey Crassus and Caesar. Cicero though a senior statesman struggled to maintain his independence and it was during these years that frustrated in public life he first started to put his excess energy stylistic brilliance and superabundant vocabulary into writing these works of philosophy. The three dialogues collected here are the most accessible of Cicero's works written to his friends Atticus and Brutus with the intent of popularizing philosophy in Ancient Rome.
