	Valerius Maximus - LoveToKnow 1911
		VALERIUS MAXIMUS, Latin writer, author of a collection of historical anecdotes, flourished in the reign of Tiberius.
		The barrier between the diction of poetry and that of prose is broken down; the uses of words are strained; monstrous metaphors are invented; there are startling contrasts, dark innuendoes and highly coloured epithets; the most unnatural variations are played upon the artificial scale of grammatical and rhetorical figures of speech.
		The collection of Valerius was much used for school purposes, and its popularity in the middle ages is attested by the large number of MSS.

		Valerius' antiquarianism has a moral purpose: he believes in the moral decline of Rome and points to the virtues which need to be cultivated in order to preserve the Roman empire.
		Valerius' advice is not just moral, but Skidmore sees him as a kind of 'agony aunt' confronting the ambiguities of certain topics, such as dress sense (3.6), and instructing the reader who may be in a dilemma.
		Valerius' programmatic statement requires him to consider vices, the subject of Book 9, but they occupy a small part, as they are less profitable to read (5.3, 3.5).

		Valerius beamed that patrician grin of his, encouraged by the theatrical groans of the assembled scribes and the by-now familiar sight of commanding general Maximus John Connolly sitting at the head of the table, listening anxiously while holding his head in his hands.
		Valerius, however, fits right in, a proud centurion of the legion of attack coaches, a barrel-chested bear of a man who speaks gently of philosophy and psyche while spending his days plotting the utter annihilation of all who oppose the Wallabies.
		Still, as Valerius and Maximus retreated to their tent, cloaked in misery and their voluminous togas, they at least could content themselves with the knowledge that while they might not have won the battle, there were signs they could yet win the war next year in Gaul.

		This paper focuses on a number of instances in which two Roman writers of the first century CE, Seneca and Valerius Maximus, explicitly describe the exemplary virtue of adult women as a kind of manhood.
		Valerius Maximus' exempla of pudicitia (6.1), written during Seneca's lifetime but belonging to a vastly different generic register (narrative vignettes illustrating 'practical'ethics) from the philosopher's treatises, nevertheless offer some instructive parallels to Seneca's manly matrons.

		A Valerius Maximus has long been a gaping hole in the Loeb collection, and even though Chris Carter announced in the mid 1970s that he was working on a Loeb Valerius, it did not materialise.
		Valerius' style has been disparaged often, most eloquently by Carter,[[13]] who calls his work 'an excellent example of the unsuccessful practice of unexceptional theory', marked by 'a concentration of art and general clumsiness'; 'he exhibits the faults typical of poor and affected writing -- miscalculated effects, over-explanation.

		The prefaces to Valerius' individual chapters, where his style is mostly his own rather than that of his sources and where he is seeking to impress the reader, offer the stiffest challenge to the translator.
		Although Valerius himself might regret that his work is not now used for the purpose of moral education, he would be delighted that W. has given him the opportunity to resume the role he played through to the Renaissance in popularising and illuminating Roman history and culture.

		The last decade has been kind to Valerius Maximus.[[1]] In the latest offering Hans-Friedrich Mueller argues that the rhetoric of virtue observable in the exempla of the Facta et Dicta Memorabilia is saturated with the vocabulary of ritual and 'traditional' Roman religion.
		Valerius expects himself and his audience to act with the same reverence and regard for the gods (which include Tiberius).
		The latter retains an archaic tone, distancing it from the present; Valerius uses the language of ritual to impose on his audience the message that the gods care about the conduct of individuals and as such it becomes part of the language of moral persuasion.
