The race to the White House is nearing the finish, with early voting underway and the polls opening up next Tuesday. Regardless of which side you choose, there’s a voice from the past that has some advice on the matter of coming out on Wednesday as victorious.<\/p>\n

Quintus Cicero looked out for his brother, the<\/em> Cicero of ancient Rome, as the famous orator made his political debut. He showed his care by writing him a letter with pointers for ensuring triumph. His advice still rings true a few thousand years later and can serve of a quick primer on election success. What’s also unique about this book is that it includes the original Latin text of Commentariolum petitionis<\/em> and the accompanying translation side by side. You get a politics and language lesson in one easy place!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
