Roman Manliness: "Virtus" and the Roman Republic
McDonnell, Myles (Fordham University, New York)
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.
