	Titus Pomponius Atticus - LoveToKnow 1911
		TITUS POMPONIUS ATTICUS (109 -32 B.C.), Roman patron of letters, was born at Rome three years before Cicero, with whom he and the younger Marius were educated.
		His name was Titus Pomponius, that of Atticus, by which he is known, being given him afterwards from his long residence in Athens (86-65)65) and his intimate acquaintance with the Greek literature and language.
		When Pomponius was still a young man his father died, and he at once took the prudent resolution of transferring himself and his fortune to Athens, in order to escape the dangers of the civil war, in which he might have been involved through his connexion with the murdered tribune, Sulpicius Rufus.

		Atticus' sister was married to Quintus Tullius Cicero; the marriage was arranged by Marcus Cicero, with whom Atticus lived on very close terms ever since they were students together, indeed much more intimately than with Quintus, which shows that similarity of character carries more weight in friendship than ties of blood.
		Atticus' inactivity was so gratifying to Caesar that when he had won, and was demanding money from private individuals by letter, not only did he give Atticus no trouble, but at his request pardoned his sister's son and Quintus Cicero, as they were in Pompey's camp.
		Atticus, though he was very intimate with Cicero, and a close friend of Brutus, not only gave them no encouragement towards injuring Antony, but on the contrary protected, as far as he could, those close to him as they fled from the city, and helped them with whatever they required.

		Atticus belongs to that minority of men who, through discipline and art, have made themselves what they desire to be.
		That Atticus, living at that time, under circumstances of this sort, was able to effect an escape from a crashing world and still cull from it all that it had of grace and fragrance, was due to circumstances not likely to be repeated.
		I think Atticus, who lived beyond the ordinary span of years in accordance with principles that permitted the fullest use of life, was for all his mastery of the art of living, an unhappy man. He loved his friends, but he did not love his fellow men.

		In one his collections of biographical sketches, Cornelius Nepos described the life of an Epicurean from the first century B.C., the banker, publisher, and close associate of Cicero, Titus Pomponius Atticus:
		He spoke Greek so well that he seemed a native Athenian; on the other hand his Latin was so graceful that its charm seemed somehow inborn, not learned.
		Nor did he seek aid from anyone for his own safety alone, but did so also for his friend's, so that it appeared that he desired no good fortune for himself that was not shared by his friend.

		But Cicero's letters to his friends (ad familiares), to his brother (ad Quintum fratrem) and to Atticus (ad Atticum) were what a letter is generally supposed to be: a way to express one's personal thoughts to a person one trusts.
		And the pinnacle of confidence and open mindedness is the correspondence with Atticus, his closest friend and supporter.

		Cicero’s dearest friend was Titus Pomponius Atticus, an immensely wealthy businessman with a taste for literary pursuits, book collecting, and a great skill at keeping himself apart from political intrigue, no easy task in Rome during the time of the transition between the fall of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Empire.
		Owing to the preservation of Cicero’s letters to Atticus we know as much as we do about Cicero’s relations with friends, and about the way he made use of them.
		Cicero came to Atticus for financial advice and aid, on personal matters (a discussion of prospective second wives for Cicero is one of their subjects), and endless discussions of the perilous political situations in which his equivocal ambitions landed him.
