In On the Gods Cicero invites us into a Roman garden where thoughtful voices test what the divine might be. An Epicurean praises tranquil gods, a Stoic finds providence written in the stars, and an Academic skeptic tugs at each claim with gentle rigor. With urbane wit and steady grace, the dialogue becomes a tour of ancient schools and a lesson in how to think rather than what to believe. It weighs piety, fate, design, and the touch of evil, yet never forces certainty. If luminous debate under a colonnade calls to you, this is Rome’s most humane doorway to theology.
