Virtus in Velleius
View through CrossRef
Chapter 4 shows how through his Historiae, Velleius sought to highlight the fact that the principate had come not just to re-establish peace and order, but to restore something very important to the Romans: virtus. The examination of men of virtus during the republic was used by the author both to emphasise his standpoint of continuity and to prepare the reader for his distinctive interpretation of Roman history. The analysis of the emperor Tiberius in Velleius’ work serves as a case study to illustrate his positive interpretation of virtus in which political ideology and Velleius’ own version of historical reality blend together.
