Hopefully I'm not as boring as Cicero is ..... but don't count on it!
'On Government' by Cicero is a collection of his writings set out in a chronological format. The large bulk are orations he delivered in front of the senate (or law court) and some smaller sections on his ideals for what a government should look like. I found it pretty boring to be honest but did give me some historical insights into the time period of ~100-0 BC and showcased why politics has always been a shitshow.
Huge thanks to Petar & Cole McCormick for supporting the show. Very much appreciated!
