Coles Exemplary Representation(s) of the Past: New Readings of Valerius Maximus’ Facta et Dicta Memorabilia at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Once regarded primarily as a repository of historical anecdotes, Valerius Maximus’ Facta et dicta memorabilia is now increasingly recognised as a carefully constructed reflection on Rome’s past, its moral values, and its cultural memory. Building on recent developments in Valerian scholarship, this volume offers new readings of the work’s literary, historiographical, ethical, and intellectual dimensions. Its contributions examine compositional strategies, exemplary figures, social and political values, and patterns of reception, revealing the Facta et dicta memorabilia as a central text for understanding how Romans interpreted the past and transformed historical memory into a medium of ethical and political reflection.
