    In this episode, the Dead Language Ladies discuss whether Cicero is a bad friend in light of the roughly 1000 letters that survive written by and to Cicero--many addressed to his dearest friend Atticus--during the final decades of the Republic and its ultimate fall at the hands of infamous Romans such as Mark Antony, Caesar Augustus, and Lepidus. Listen in to learn about the friendships, enemies, and political maneuvers of the great Roman orator, and decide for yourself whether Cicero played by the rules of Roman amicitia, or if his "friendships" were one of the heralds of his murder.
