"It was the best of times, it was worst of times" (Dickens) If you were an attorney during the Roman Empire, write a brief detailing how it was "the best of times" during the Golden Age of the Roman Empire, using evidence from the passages from Cicero, Lucian, Juvenal and Pliny [i.e. the letters about Verginius Rufus, Ummidia Quadratilla, etc] and the other information provided in Kebric, Chapter 7. Add a paragraph in your main body critiquing the evidence for the opposite viewpoint. In your conclusion state whether the same is true today for the elderly and why.
