Boethius (ca. 480-524 CE) was a Roman philosopher and statesman who lived under the rule of the Ostrogoths after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Accused of treason, he was imprisoned around 523 and executed in 524. Philip Freeman is the author of many books on the classical world and has previously translated Cicero and Aristotle.
