Factorum Dictorumque Memorabilium Libri Novem... [Latin]

By Valerius Maximus

Factorum et Dictorum Memorabilium Libri Novem (Nine Books of Memorable Deeds and Sayings) is a collection of historical anecdotes and excerpts compiled in Latin by Valerius Maximus during the reign of Tiberius. The work, dedicated to the emperor, served as a reference source for orators and writers, providing a treasury of moral examples and historical precedents. Organized thematically, the books cover virtues and vices, religious practices, political customs, and personal characteristics, drawing primarily from Roman history and to a lesser extent from Greek sources. Valerius Maximus' compilation offers valuable insights into the social, moral, and intellectual values of the early Roman Empire and remains a significant resource for understanding Roman culture and rhetoric.
