Abstract

Abstract This chapter examines the three-book collection of (Marcus) Cicero's Letters to (Quintus) Cicero that dramatizes the years of their writer's tempora (‘crisis’) between the fall-out from his consulate, through his banishment, return, and shift of alignment from unease with Pompey to investment in Caesar (60-54 BCE). Besides Marcus' own spell out in the cold, they are occasioned by three periods of Qfr.'s absence from Italy, as praetorian proconsul of Asia, and as legate to Pompey in Sardinia, and as legate to Caesar in Gaul. Their epistoliterarity spans the whole range from formal broadside through mimetic bulletin to keeping channels open. A text and translation follow the chapter and conclusion, and a bibliographical note is appended.
