Morality is one of the fundamental structures of any society,
enabling complex groups to form, negotiate their internal
differences and persist through time. In the first book-length
study of Roman popular morality, Dr Morgan argues that we can
recover much of the moral thinking of people across the Empire. Her
study draws on proverbs, fables, exemplary stories and gnomic
quotations, to explore how morality worked as a system for Roman
society as a whole and in individual lives. She examines the range
of ideas and practices and their relative importance, as well as
questions of authority and the relationship with high philosophy
and the ethical vocabulary of documents and inscriptions. The Roman
Empire incorporated numerous overlapping groups, whose ideas varied
according to social status, geography, gender and many other
factors. Nevertheless it could and did hold together as an ethical
community, which was a significant factor in its socio-political
success.
