Caecilia Attica was the beloved only child of Titus Pomponius Atticus, whose lifetime friendship with Marcus Tullius Cicero included a correspondence that provides rare insight into personal and family life during the late republic.
As Attica was growing up, the letters traced the seasonal movements from city to country, the trips with her mother to visit friends and family in and out of Rome, and concern with the various illnesses she suffered.
In 37 Attica married Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, a close friend of Atticus and a lifelong supporter, friend, and leading military commander of Octavian, the future emperor Augustus.
