In this 2006 book Dr Langlands seeks to move away from these towards a deeper understanding of the issues that mattered to the Romans themselves, and the ways in which they negotiated them, by focusing on the untranslatable concept of pudicitia (broadly meaning 'sexual virtue'). She offers a series of nuanced close readings of texts from a wide spectrum of Latin literature, including history, oratory, love poetry and Valerius Maximus' work Memorable Deeds and Sayings. Pudicitia emerges as a controversial and unsettled topic, at the heart of Roman debates about the difference between men and women, the relation between mind and body, and the ethics of power and status differentiation within Roman culture. The book develops strategies for approaching the study of an ancient culture through sensitive critical readings of its literary productions. 606 $aSexual ethics$zRome 606 $aSex customs$zRome 606 $aSexual ethics in literature 607 $aRome$xMoral conditions 615 0$aSexual ethics 615 0$aSex customs 615 0$aSexual ethics in literature. 676 $a176.0937 700 $aLanglands$b Rebecca$01034380 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457837003321 996 $aSexual morality in ancient Rome$92453472 997 $aUNINA
