| Summary |
Die bevorzugten moralischen Bildungsinhalte einer römischen Erziehung strotzen vor beispielhaften Erzählungen über die Nationalhelden Roms. Um die Idee einer tugendhaften Herrschaft zu indoktrinieren, setzten sowohl Politiker als auch Bevölkerung exempla als rhetorisches Werkzeug des mos maiorum (Sitte der Vorfahren) ein. James Petitfils untersucht die jüdische und christliche Beteiligung an dieser weitverbreiteten pädagogischen Methode |
