Very Good in Good+ dust jacket. 0415271088. Faint staining to lower section of front inner cover and small stain (1cm) to first 2 pages. Staining to lower section of DJ (the reverse section cannot be seen unless DJ is removed). Small scratches to rear panel of DJ.; Routledge Classical Monographs; 288 pages; Valerius Maximus was an indefatigable collector of historical anecdotes illustrating vice and virtue. His Memorable Deeds and Sayings are unparalleled as a source for the opinions of Romans in the early empire on a vast range of subjects. Mueller focuses on what Valerius can tell us about contemporary Roman attitudes to religion, attacking several orthodoxies along the way. He argues that Roman religion could be deeply emotional. That it was possible to believe passionately in the divinity of the emperor-even when, like Tiberius, he was still alive-and that Rome's gods and religious rituals had an important role in fostering conventional morality. The study further explores elements of ancient rhetoric, Roman historiography, and Tiberian Rome. The fact that Valerius was a contemporary of Jesus means his work is also valuable in reflecting the attitudes and beliefs of the ruling class to which Christ and his followers were politically subject, and which formed the background to the growth and persecution of Christianity.
