Excerpt from Titus Pomponius Atticus, Chapters of a Biography H Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Bryn Mawr College in Partial, Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree, of Doctor of Philosophy
The evidence offered by At-tiens' speeches in the dialogues of Cicero carries less weight and may be counted as convincing only when it reinforces conclusions drawn from the letters. Yet the care that Cicero used in choosing interlocutors, the effort that he made to assign to each man a part consonant with his ideas and not too far beyond his capacities,23 added to the fact that in the case of a living interlocutor a serious misrepresenta tion of reality would have aroused unfavorable comment, make it a fair inference that Atticus was not made the mouthpiece of ideas at variance with his own and that the experiences to which he refers may be accepted as facts.
