Cicero's Letter Ad Atticum VII, 11: Latin Text with an English Translation
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Caesar crosses the Rubicon between January 10 and 11, 49 BC. It is civil war. Cicero leaves Rome for Campania because he is assigned the task of organizing its defense. Caesar's moves are lightning-fast, and in the general disorientation, Cicero writes this letter to Atticus (perhaps between January 19 and 21), expressing all his dismay about what is happening and Pompey's decision to abandon Rome.
