«Acerca de la vejez» is a philosophical essay by Marcus Tullius Cicero, published by Sequitur in paperback and in Spanish.
The work reflects on ageing and argues that old age should not be feared: although physical vigour declines, maturity allows one to devote oneself to memory, knowledge and serenity, and offers room for happiness and contribution to society.
The Spanish translation is by Luis González Platón, who also wrote the introduction; this edition was published in 2013.
Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, philosopher, orator, and writer who tried to uphold optimate principles during the political crises of the Roman Republic that led to the establishment of the Roman Empire. The extensive writings of Cicero include treatises on rhetoric, philosophy, and politics. He is considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists and the innovator of what became known as "Ciceronian rhetoric". Cicero was educated in Rome and in Greece. He came from a wealthy municipal family of the Roman equestrian order, and served as consul in 63 BC.
