'Are you not mad to talk to me of shame when all around proclaims my glory?" '
With the upcoming release of Blood & Gold, Marius is getting his own page. I will try to include the books mentioned in Blood & Gold, as I always do, plus other books that might help you understand the books that helped make Marius the gentleman that he truly is.
Or at least what we have surviving, which is precious little.
I am keeping this page relevant to Marius' book. If you want more, visit the latin pages.
A History of the Roman people. A nice little Roman history from Amazon.com. The following quote comes from there:
"It is virtue (...) for a man to know what is good, what is evil, what is useless, shameful and dishonourable;
to be an enemy of bad men and customs; to be a friend and protector of those
who are good; to place first one's country's good; next that of one's parents; last that of one's self."
Also relevant: an accessible book on History of Philosophy:
