Cato Maior Sive De Senectute is a book written by the Roman philosopher and statesman, Marcus Tullius Cicero, in 44 BC. The book is a dialogue between Cicero and his friend, Atticus, and is written in the form of a letter to Cicero's son, Marcus. The book discusses the topic of old age and the virtues that come with it, such as wisdom, experience, and a sense of perspective. Cicero argues that old age should be embraced and celebrated, rather than feared or avoided. He also provides examples of famous and respected figures from history who lived to a ripe old age, such as Cato the Elder, for whom the book is named. Cato Maior Sive De Senectute is considered one of Cicero's most influential works and is still widely read and studied today.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
