Balmaceda demonstrates that <em>virtus</em> in these historical narratives served as a form of self-definition that fostered and propagated a new model of the ideal Roman more fitting to imperial times. As a crucial moral and political concept, <em>virtus</em> worked as a key idea in the complex system of Roman sociocultural values and norms that underpinned Roman attitudes about both present and past.
