This edition contains translations of two significant commentaries written in connection with a fragment from Cicero's treatise On the Republic, which, according to its subject, is designated as "The Dream of Scipio": "Commentary on the Dream of Scipio" by Macrobius Theodosius and "Discourse on the Dream of Scipio" Favonia Eulogia. In this episode of his work, Cicero paints a picture of the universe, which aroused the interest of subsequent writers in his story. In the comments offered to the reader's attention, Cicero's narrative about the structure of the world 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 (Neo-Pythagoreanism).
The reader will find in them ancient cosmography, a description of the Universe and the Earth; astronomy; Pythagorean doctrine of numbers, harmony of spheres and music; ethical theory of virtues and the concept of immortality of the soul.
