This edition presents translations of two significant commentaries written in connection with a fragment from Cicero's treatise On the State, which is designated according to its subject as "Scipio's Dream": "Commentary on Scipio's Dream" by Macrobius Theodosius and "Discourse on Scipio's Dream" by Favonius Eulogius Macrobius Theodosius and "Discourse on the Dream of Scipio" by Favonius Eulogius. In this episode of his work, Cicero draws a picture of the universe, which is what aroused the interest of later writers in his story. In the commentaries offered to the reader's attention, Cicero's account of the world order is interpreted from the point of view of Platonic and Pythagorean philosophy, so that they provide rich material to judge the views of late antique Platonism (Neoplatonism) and Pythagoreanism (Neopythagoreanism).
The reader will find in them ancient cosmography, a description of the universe and the Earth; astronomy; the Pythagorean doctrine of numbers, harmony of the spheres, and music; the ethical theory of the virtues and the concept of the immortality of the soul.
