The two political and philosophical works of Cicero, "On the State" and "On the Laws," serve as excellent examples of Roman prose and contain an exposition of the theories of the state and law of ancient Greece and Rome. They are written as dialogues, i.e. conversations: the dialogue "About the state" is conducted by Scipio Africanus Jr. and his friends, members of the so-called "Scipio Circle"; the dialogue "About the laws" is conducted by the author himself, Marcus Cicero, his brother Quintus Cicero and Titus Pomponius Atticus. These writings of Cicero, which at one time also had a political orientation, had a great influence on writers of the early Christian era, on Renaissance writers and scientists, and on French enlightenment thinkers (for example, Montesquieu's The Spirit of the Laws). Both dialogues represent outstanding monuments of world culture.
