Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This 1st-century Roman text presents a series of famous examples showcasing wit and wisdom in the words and actions of eminent figures of the day. These anecdotes serve to demonstrate the range and depth of Roman ingenuity, from solemn orations in the Senate, to the personal choices made by famous Roman leaders and thinkers. The author categorizes the examples into themes, beginning with "felicitas" (good fortune), examining those who achieved success through luck or circumstance, and the virtues by which they maintained their good fortune. The text goes on to examine strategic decision-making, particularly in the face of adversity, and the role of clever tactics in navigating precarious situations. A variety of intriguing tales illustrate how wit and sound judgment could bring about advantageous outcomes for the Romans. By examining these historical anecdotes, the author offers insights into the values and practices of ancient Roman society, as well as the intellectual and cultural qualities that distinguished it.
