IIRC most of the books Cicero that survive are about rhetoric.
His letters are fascinating glimpses into life in the first century. As an enemy of Caesar's they give a whole other line of refutation to the jesus freak morons who insist that we have more evidence for their godboy than we do for Caesar. Even Caesar's enemies tell us he was real.
Otherwise, among other writers, Titus Livy is one of the foremost historians. Much of his work survives and we have brief sketches of many of the missing books. Pliny the Elder's Natural History is another famed one.
Then there is Sallust (Gaius Sallustius Crispus) who is the earliest Roman historian whose work has survived. This site may help.
