Why the name “atticusnow“?
Titus Pomponius Atticus is still remembered as Cicero’s close confidante and prolific correspondent, who offered help whenever it was sought. Atticus was valued by Cicero above all for the honesty of his guidance and the strength of his friendship. We seek to emulate Atticus as a trusted adviser, but in an agile way to meet contemporary needs.
