Roman correspondence reveals ancient lives, relationships, politics and identities. This book explores the way the bilingual authors Cicero, Pliny, Suetonius, Fronto and Marcus Aurelius switch from Latin to Greek in their letters, and demonstrates how they manipulate language to make and break friendships, resolve problems and express Romanness.
