Philosophy in Ancient Rome

A few Romans stood aghast, as these philosophers reasoned both sides of an argument with equal persuasiveness.

Ciero's main effort was to create a Latin philosophical vocabulary – attempting to distil the concept of the atom into their own language.

The true epicurean life is far from the gluttonous, sybaritic existence many of us attributed to the word.

Bruto could not possibly have been a Stoic, or he would never have engineered the assassination of Julius Caesar.
