Sommario/riassunto

In his 'Parallel Lives', Plutarch presented to educated Greek and Roman readers, but especially to leading men of the Roman imperial administration, the moral issues he recognized behind political leadership. The chapters in this book examine his presentation of these issues and relate his writings to the audience of elite Roman readers which Plutarch aimed to influence and to the larger social and political context of the Roman empire.
