  1. Jed W. Atkins. Cicero on the relationship between Plato’s Republic and Laws. Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies Supplement  Institute for Classical Studies (2013).

    Abstract:
    There has been much scholarly debate about whether Plato's Laws indicates a substantial revision of the political philosophy found in the Republic. I argue that Cicero read the works as complementary and believed that the mixed regime of the Laws completed the political philosophy of the Republic. The Republic's discussion of political philosophy points to the regime of the Laws, and to the Roman mixed constitution of Cicero Republic.
