Terentia, Tullia and Publilia: The Women of Cicero's FamilyRoutledge, 7 aug 2007 - 256 pagina's Studying references and writings in over 900 personal letters, an unparalleled source, this book presents a rounded and intriguing account of the three women who, until now, have only survived as secondary figures to Cicero.
