review 1: I really liked this short treatise. Cicero's older brother offered the more famous Cicero solid advice to win his election for proconsul in the Roman Republic. His insights still prove useful for modern politicians. It also offers a number of useful tips for building lasting interpersonal relationships. Nothing too profound here, though, because it's mostly common sense. For example, before you run for public office be sure that you have the support of your family and close friends. More often than not damaging stories originate from those closest to you. Another simple piece of advice—always say "Yes" and make promises unless it directly contradicts a commitment you must honor with another in which case you should graciously decline.
review 2: Being such a ... moreshort work concerned with practical advice on a prosaic subject, I donʻt have much to say about it except that it is somewhat remarkable how similar campaigning in ancient Rome and modern America are. Beyond that, I appreciate the fact that this volume contains both the Latin text and the English translation on facing pages, and the introduction is short enough to be interesting to even the most casual reader. less
