Factorum Dictorumque Memorabilium Libri Novem; Volume 2
Factorum et Dictorum Memorabilium Libri Novem (Nine Books of Memorable Deeds and Sayings) is a collection of historical anecdotes and moral exempla compiled by Valerius Maximus, likely during the reign of Tiberius. This second volume continues the tradition of illustrating virtues and vices through stories drawn from Roman history and, to a lesser extent, foreign cultures.
The work is organized thematically, with each book dedicated to a specific virtue or vice. Valerius Maximus presents a series of brief narratives designed to instruct and inspire readers through examples of exemplary behavior or cautionary tales of moral failure. "Factorum Dictorumque Memorabilium" served as an important source of historical and moral knowledge throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and it remains a valuable window into the values and beliefs of the Roman world. This edition allows modern readers to engage with the wisdom and insights of this influential classical text.
