About “Commentariolum Petitionis”
Commentariolum Petitionis, also known as De petitione consulatus, is an essay written around 65-64 BC. It is attributed to Quintus Tullius Cicero and was intended as a guide for his brother Marcus Tullius Cicero during his 64 BC campaign for the consulship. The text offers advice that a skilled politician like Cicero would already understand, and it is written in a highly rhetorical style. Because of this, the essay's authenticity has been doubted by scholars. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
