Roman Manliness - "Virtus" and the Roman Republic - Myles Mcdonnell - Paperback Bog - Cambridge University Press - 2009 - Engelsk - Booktok.dk
Brand: Cambridge University Press
Description
Arguing that virtus was not, in essence, a moral concept, Myles McDonnell shows how the semantic range of the word, together with the manly ideal that it embodied, were altered by Greek cultural ideas; and how Roman manliness was contested in the religion, culture, and politics of the late Republic.
