Cicero, of course.

A fascinating character, intelligent and eloquent, educated but a man of the world as well. I would attend a dinner party at his villa in Tusculum where we would discuss poetry, Roman history, Greek philosophy, Republican politics and listen gossip about Caesar and other famous contemporaries over the best Falernian wine. And afterwards I could browse his library with all of the countless works we've lost.
