Marcus Tullius Cicero's 'On Old Age - Cicero de Senectute' is a profound discourse on the virtues, challenges, and joys of aging. Written in a dialogue format, the book explores the philosophical and moral aspects of growing older, as well as practical advice on how to make the most of one's later years.
