This ground-breaking study conveys the thrill and moral power of
the ancient Roman story-world and its ancestral tales of bloody
heroism. Its account of 'exemplary ethics' explores how and what
Romans learnt from these moral exempla, arguing that they
disseminated widely not only core values such as courage and
loyalty, but also key ethical debates and controversies which are
still relevant for us today. Exemplary ethics encouraged
controversial thinking, creative imitation, and a critical
perspective on moral issues, and it plays an important role in
Western philosophical thought. The model of exemplary ethics
developed here is based on a comprehensive survey of Latin
literature, and its innovative approach also synthesizes
methodologies from disciplines such as contemporary philosophy,
educational theory, and cultural memory studies. It offers a new
and robust framework for the study of Roman exempla that will also
be valuable for the study of moral exempla in other settings.
