    What are your thoughts of Cicero, if you're american I can imagine that you think of him rather highly, seeing as your founding fathers were influenced greatly by Cicero, as were the French and most figures of the Renaissance, so do you admire Cicero, the humanist, or Cicero, the republican. Maybe you're just curious about both aspects of the man, and maybe you find everything about Cicero to be utter nonsense.
