The leading orator and rhetorician of his age, Fronto has left behind an invaluable correspondence, providing a window into the aristocratic life and literary culture of second century Rome. His letters reveal the author’s strong stylistic views and dislike of Stoicism. Charting his family joys and sorrows, they highlight the glory and dangers of serving as a prominent figure in the palace. His correspondence also constructs a detailed account of the day to day life in the Senate, literary salons and the bustling law courts.
