Cicero's Journey to his Province of Cilicia in 51 B.C.

This paper has been written in connexion with Sir William Ramsay's Oxford Seminar for Historical Research in the Eastern Provinces of the Roman Empire. It is the result of an examination of Cicero's correspondence during his journey to Cilicia in the summer and autumn of the year 51; and while there is probably nothing contained in it which has not already been the subject of comment before, yet the conclusions arrived at respecting the precise dates and details of Cicero's movements will be found to differ in some considerable degree from the estimates of previous editors or commentators, especially those of O. E. Schmidt, the latest scholar, so far as I know, who has published a detailed reckoning of the times and rates of the journey in question.
