Böcker av Teresa (University of Oxford) Morgan

This study of Roman popular morality argues that we can recover much of the moral thinking of ordinary people in the early Empire. Drawing on proverbs, fables, exemplary stories and gnomic quotations, she explores how morality worked, for Roman society as a whole and for individuals.
